SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework. In effect, it is the list of authorized senders for email delivered on behalf of your domain.
Manually setting up DKIM requires editing your domain's DNS records. If you're not comfortable making these changes, you can use Entri to automatically configure your DNS.
To get started, go to your Account tab, select Campaign Settings, and click on Domain Authentication.
On this page, enter your domain and subdomain (if applicable). Afterward, click the Add Domain button to proceed.
Once you've added a domain, our system will offer you instructions on setting up DKIM, SPF, and DMARC. The SPF record will be displayed on the left, DKIM setup instructions will appear in the middle, and DMARC information will be shown on the right.
In the left section of the SPF instructions, the first box shows your current SPF record, updating periodically to reflect the latest status. The second box provides the text to add to your SPF record. SPF is added as a TXT record to your top-level domain. For the Host/Name field, you may need to leave it blank or use the "@" symbol. Refer to your DNS provider's documentation for further guidance.
*Do not remove your existing SPF record. If one is already present, simply add to it. Removing an existing record could affect email delivery from previously authorized sources.*
After making the necessary changes, allow at least 10 minutes for the DNS updates to propagate. To check your records, click the Check Current DNS button to refresh the status manually. If the setup is correct, you’ll see green success messages confirming a successful installation. If not, verify that your DNS entries are accurate and fully propagated before trying again.
