Setting up your domain for SPF, DKIM & DMARC

Setting up your domain to comply with SPF, DKIM and DMARC requirements that are being implemented by more and more email providers, is easy with Keila!

1. Create a Send with Keila Sender

If you don’t yet have one, create a Sender in your Keila project and select the Send with Keila option. Make sure you can receive emails at the From address (e.g. newsletter@example.com) so you can receive the confirmation email.

2. Pick your Mail From Domain

Choose a subdomain that is not currently used for anything else. This subdomain will become your Mail From Domain. Common choices include mailings.example.com or send.example.com.

Note: You can’t use the Mail From Domain in your From address. This means if you configure send.example.com as your Mail From Domain, you should still use an email address on your principal domain (e.g. newsletter@example.com) as your From address and not an email address on your Mail From Domain (i.e. don’t use newsletter@send.example.com).

3. Update your DNS

Add the following entries to your DNS settings:

Connect your Mail From Domain with CNAME:
CNAME *your-subdomain*.example.com public.keila.io

Add the Keila DKIM key:
CNAME keila._domainkey.example.com dkim.public.keila.io

Enable DMARC for your main domain:
TXT _dmarc.example.com v=DMARC1; p=none

4. Submit the Domain Connection Form
