This article covers the SPF and DKIM authentication processes for Alibaba 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. You can find the configuration information of the corresponding domain name in the Direct Mail console and obtain the record value.

2. After you obtain the record value, log on to the Domain console and add the following TXT parsing records to the primary domain name. If you use a primary domain name, enter "aliyun-ap-southeast-1._domainkey" in the host record.

You can also find the instructions on how to set up DKIM and SPF for Alibaba Cloud, here.
