This article covers the SPF and DKIM authentication processes for SimplyCast 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.

To setup DKIM for your SimplyCast emails, the following key should be added to a DNS TXT record:

mail._domainkey
​
​k=rsa;p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCpuDFs+laI+uqPEV3N5EsNJTPftx2I+BIafi65PgzZuVfmgmDM7bHoFPUXz5/BThZNzprxUWOkmJnYf33jnxb1I+hu/+5u0u9Hp2I7iEEC3F6mQm1uu3MK8eH6xoiNq3kHwig5TWtZII41y3YRGGJAWT7cRjJrH26YS7fChva1ywIDAQAB

NOTE: If you manage you domain in Valimail, you will need to add the DKIM key on your domain's configuration page in the Valimail platform.

After the TXT record is added, use the Check button on the Authentication page to check a selected sender domain from the drop-down box to the left. Their system will tell you if the SPF and DKIM records are found and if they authenticate properly.

If you have any questions, please contact SimplyCast support.
