SPF(supported)
DKIM(recommended)



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

2. Add TXT and CNAME records to your domain’s DNS settings.


  • Copy and paste the TXT and CNAME entries into the DNS records of your email address domain. 
  • Select Verify on the domain verification dialog window.

Important: If you manage DKIM for your domain in Valimail, you will need to add the 2 CNAME DKIM keys on your domain's Configuration page in Valimail Enforce and the 3rd CNAME or any other record, will go in your DNS.
