SPF(supported)
DKIM(recommended)
This article covers the SPF and DKIM authentication processes for Get a Newsletter 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.
Configuring DKIM authentication for your Get a Newsletter emails
The DKIM setting is made in the DNS settings of your domain and should be entered as a subdomain. The exact order and approach to to this may look different for different web hosts but the information that needs to be added in the different fields is:
Subdomain: gan1._domainkey
Type: CNAME
Value :gan1._domainkey.gansend.com
Subdomain: gan2._domainkey
Type: CNAME
Value: gan2._domainkey.gansend.com
Subdomain: gan
Type: CNAME
Value: mta.gansend.com
The rest of the fields can be left as they are.
NOTE: If you manage you domain in Valimail, you will need to add the 2 CNAME DKIM keys on your domain's configuration page in the Valimail platform and the 3rd CNAME record will need to be added in your DNS.
Check that DKIM is entered correctly
One hour after you have added DNS records, you can follow the steps below to confirm that the settings are correct:
Log in to the account
Click in the profil icon> "Sender"
Click on “View Details”
