Everlytic DMARC, DKIM and SPF Configuration - Domain Authentication

August 16, 2024

How to Setup Everlytic DMARC, DKIM and SPF DNS Records?

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) helps prevent email spoofing by allowing domain owners to specify which mail servers are authorized to send email on behalf of their domain. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a digital signature to your email headers, enabling the recipient's server to verify that the email has not been altered during transit and that it indeed comes from your domain. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) builds on SPF and DKIM. It allows domain owners to specify how receiving mail servers should deal with emails that fail SPF or DKIM checks.

You can configure these DNS records in the Everlytic help center. Add them to your DNS provider for verification. By doing this, you can prevent emails from going to the spam folder.

Setup Everlytic DKIM:

  1. Login to your DNS provider. We are using Cloudflare for this guide.

  2. Click on the domain you want to authenticate.

  3. Go to the DNS tab and click Add Record.

  4. Add the following DKIM records. Replace "customerdomain" with your domain name.

  5. Turn off the proxy status for each record before saving.

Everlytic DKIM 1

Type: CNAME Hostname: everlytickey1._domainkey.customerdomain.com Value: everlytickey1._domainkey.eversrv.com

Everlytic DKIM 2

Type: CNAME Hostname: everlytickey2._domainkey.customerdomain.com Value: everlytickey2._domainkey.eversrv.com

Setup Everlytic SPF:

  1. Click Add Record and select type TXT.

  2. In the Name field, write your domain name.

  3. In the content field, write the SPF value: v=spf1 include:eversrv.com ~all.

  4. Click Save.

Merge Multiple SPF Records:

If your domain has an existing SPf record, merge it with the Everlytic SPF value to avoid conflicts.

  4. Replace your existing value with the Merged value.
