This article covers the SPF and DKIM authentication processes for Newton and how they are managed in Valimail. Because this service leverages Sendgrid's email infrastructure, it requires additions to your DNS records outside of the Valimail platform. Adding Newton as an authorized sender in the Valimail platform usually requires a dedicated subdomain to be pointed to the Sendgrid infrastructure and typically the DKIM keys will be added in the Valimail platform.

1. Newton (now owned by Paycor) uses SendGrid under the hood. The setup process is like a standard SendGrid activation. This is done by opening a ticket with Newton's Customer Support.

2. Newton will generate the proper DNS instructions for the activation. This will be a CNAME record hosted in your DNS and two CNAME DKIM keys. The DKIM keys can be published through Enforce since the DKIM keys will be on the top-level domain.

3. The DKIM keys can be distinguished from having "_domainkey." in the hostname.

Ensure that Newton generates unique DKIM selectors and does not use s1/s2

4. Once the DNS changes are in place, notify Newton support and they can activate on their end.
