This article covers the SPF and DKIM authentication processes for Tencent Cloud and how they are managed in Valimail. While only one of the two authentication methods is required for an email to pass DMARC, our recommendation is to configure both whenever possible.

1. Click Create on the Sender Domain page.

2. Enter a domain and click Submit.

Note:

sampledomain.com is a sample only and should be replaced with your sender domain.

A domain in the sampledomain.com format is a primary domain, and one in the abc.sampledomail.com format is a non-primary domain. The following configuration steps vary depending on the domain type (primary or non-primary). See the corresponding description for details.

3. Go back to the Sender Domain page and click Verify.

4. Record the Record Value shown on the pop-up window.

Note：

Below is an example only. The actual content displayed on the corresponding page shall prevail.

5. Go back to step 4 and click Submit for verification. The Current Value shows what you configured in the above DNS configuration. When the verification status becomes Verified, the configuration is completed.
