How to authenticate a domain

Easymailing authenticates your campaign by default with DKIM and automatically configures SPF records so that your email campaigns arrive in your recipients' delivery folder. . These mechanisms are used to protect against SPAM, phishing and counterfeiting.

In many cases you don't need to set up your own authentication.

Benefits of domain authentication:

• With your domain verified, you can add email accounts for that domain without manually verifying them.
• It can help in some cases to improve your delivery rate.
• You will no longer see in some email clients "on behalf of emdlv.net" or "via emdlv.net" in the sender information.

In order to authenticate a domain name you need to have some knowledge of domain names and how DNS records work. If you do not have this knowledge, you can delegate it to your hosting or domain name provider
