Before you can send your campaigns, you will need to verify the domain or mailbox that will dispatch the emails.
This is necessary to comply with anti-spam regulations and ensure the highest possible deliverability rate.
Go to Settings and then to Manage Domains within the Domains box.
Next, click the Start verification button. Here you will see the domains or email addresses that you have already verified.
There are two verification options:
Domain verification
Email address verification.
If you have a registered domain and want to use mailboxes from that domain, the recommended option is to verify the domain.
If you do not have your own domain or want to use an email address from a different domain or one that you do not have access to, then you will need to verify the email.
Domain verification consists of several steps:
First, you will need to enter the domain you want to verify.
In this step, you will need to edit the DNS zone of your domain. You will need to do this on the server where you have the hosting account associated with the domain.
This step will instruct you to add to the DNS zone mentioned in step 2.
You must add, in the TXT record of the SPF authentication:
include:kitpublicitario.com
Example:
v=spf1 +a +mx include:kitpublicitario.com ~all
In this step, the system will confirm the validity of the records created earlier.
Here you will need to define a sender mailbox, from your verified domain, to send emails.
Done, the domain will be verified.
In addition to the TXT record of the SPF authentication, it is advisable to create a DMARC record. This record is also created in the DNS Zone. It typically has its own Record type. Here is an example of a DMARC record in a DNS Zone:
The TXT format of a DMARC record would look like this: Name: _dmarc.mydomain.com. Value: v=DMARC1;p=none;sp=none;adkim=r;aspf=r;pct=100;fo=0;rf=afrf;ri=86400
Verifying an email address is simpler than verifying a domain.
Enter the email address you want to verify and click the Continue button.
Then, check the entered email inbox. You will receive an email from mailer@kitpublicitario.com with the subject Email Verification for Domain.
You must click on the provided link.
When you log back into the control panel, if you go back to Domain Verification or Email Address Verification, you will see your verified email address.
