Neo Email SPF, DKIM, DMARC Record Configuration - Authentication Email Domain

This article will guide you how to setup Neo Email SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to authenticate your custom email domain.

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are the necessary email authentication protocols that protect your domain against scams. Moreover, the inbox providers like Google, Yahoo, and Outlook require proof of identity for successful email delivery.

If the incoming emails lack these protocols, the inbox providers mark your emails as spam. Therefore, it is important to verify your emails by setting up the Neo DNS records in your DNS provider.

Configure Neo DNS Records:

1. Sign up for the Neo Mail account with the domain you want to authenticate.

2. After you sign up, the system will take you directly to the domain authentication process.

3. You will also see the option to connect your domain to Neo Mail at the top of the dashboard. Here you'll see two options: "Connect Automatically" or "Connect Manually."

Connect Domain Automatically:

1. Click "Connect Automatically" at the top of your screen.

   

2. Click Continue, wait for the system to analyze your domain, and click Authorize.

   

3. It directs you to the DNS provider, login, and there you will see the list of all DNS records already added. Click Authorize to confirm your action.

   

Connect Domain Manually:

1. If you want to setup records manually, click "Go to our manual setup."

   

2. The pop-up window will display Neo SPF, DKIM, MX, and verification records.

   

3. Add all these records to your DNS provider. Make sure you have the logins for your domain provider.

How Merge Multiple SPF Records? If your domain has an existing SPF value, you can not add the Neo SPF value. Adding more than one SPF record causes one of them to stop working.

1. Open the SPF merge tool.

2. Add your domain name and Neo Mail SPF value.

3. Click Merge SPF Values.

4. The tool detects your existing SPF record and merges it with Neo SPF.

5. Copy the merged value and replace the existing value with it.

   

Setup Neo Mail DKIM Record:

1. Select type TXT.

2. Copy the record name and value from Neo Mail.

3. Paste both into the dedicated fields of your DNS provider.

4. Save the record.
