How to configure DMARC, DKIM and SPF DNS records in GetResponse?

DKIM and SPF records are of paramount importance when it comes to efficient email communication. These DNS records verify the sender's identity and email authenticity. DMARC adds further security to your webmail by setting additional rules for email communication.

If you are using GetResponse for your email campaigns, configuring DNS records may sound a technical task. That's why we're here to help you out. Domain authentication is a simple process which can be accomplished by following the steps below:

1. On GetResponse dashboard, click on Tools in the top left corner of your screen and open Emails and Domains.

   

    

2. If you signed up with email having your domain, you'll this domain automatically added here. If you wish to add any other webmail, click on Add domain and add a new domain.

3. Click Update DNS records next to your domain name.

9. Open the DMARC tool, write your domain name here, and click Check.

   

    

10. The tool gives you a suggested value. Copy the record name and value and paste them into the DNS provider.

Upon refreshing, you'll see DMARC and DKIM highlighted with green, which means records were added successfully.
