Setting Up SPF & DKIM
If you have a registered domain name, hold the rights to that domain and use that domain to send emails from in Taguchi, you can now set up the SPF and DKIM records. To add the SPF and DKIM records for your sending domains, you'll need to add records of type 'TXT' through your hosting provider, domain registrar, or DNS provider. We recommend referring to your domain name provider's help documentation for specific information on adding TXT records.
SPF
If you don't have an SPF record yet, you'll need to add one for your domain. At a minimum, the value should be the following if you're only sending mail through Taguchi for that domain:
v=spf1 include:clients.taguchimail.com ~all
If you already have a SPF record, simply add the following to the current TXT record:
include:clients.taguchimail.com
DKIM
Add a new TXT record with the name dkim1024._domainkey.yourdomain.com (just replace yourdomain.com with the domain you're setting up).
The value for the record should be the following:
v=DKIM1; k=rsa; h=sha256; t=s; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQC1kbxMzuiTpHCc9huR0wmNG1anOHQzzNLim25utHBIMdxlprqlRTNppgGD7HqEMHheKN8hBeV8H6eKcijUufKj8tKNS7DMWE/sH9nt9Dd6xaPWc1U01zQNF8fTtBgp6SzdNX1Ee0U1ekRdxnhexT4tW/GAFt9gi3tcOG51dkC20QIDAQAB;
