Listrak DMARC, DKIM, SPF and Domain Authentication - How to Setup DNS Records?

In this article, we will walk you through the step-by-step domain authentication process with the help of Listrak DNS records.

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

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

    Click DNS, go to Records and hit the Add Record button

Merge Listrak SPF Record:

Due to the limitations of DNS providers, we can only add one SPF record for a domain. If your domain has an existing SPF record, merge it with the Listrak SPF to avoid conflicts.

  1. Go to the SPF Merge Tool.

  2. Add your domain name and Listrak SPF value.

  3. Click Merge SPF Values.

  4. The tool detects the existing SPF records and merges them with the Listrak SPF value.

Create a subdomain for the bounce record, eg; "bounce."
