Sometimes you want to get information quickly. Maybe our article about the ins and outs of the sender authentication tool was too much detail. Regardless, this article will help you get right to getting your domain configured for sending quickly.
If you'd like to configure a new domain for sending, simply follow these steps:
Generate Sender Authentication Instructions
- Go to Account -> Sender Authentication
- Note: If you do not see this tool, please reach out to your account manager.
- Click the Add Domain button
- Enter the domain or subdomain you want to authenticate (e.g. abc.com) and click Save
- Select the newly added domain in the grid and click the Authenticate Domain button. This will generate the unique DNS instructions for your domain.
- Clicking the Email Instructions button will send a copy of the instructions to the email of the logged in user for you to forward to your IT team.
Complete Sender Authentication For Your Domain
- Once you or your IT team have added the DNS records, select the domain and click the Authenticate Domain button.
- When you see green check marks next to the Existing Values and Recommended values, click the Begin Authentication button in the top right. (If you see red x marks, it means that the values do not match. Please review the articles below for additional assistance.)
- You will receive an email notification confirming that your domain is now successfully authenticated in your account. The status for the domain in the grid will display Authenticated.
Monitor Delivery
Once your domain is configured, make sure to monitor sends for a short time. Changes to DMARC especially can have an impact on delivery, so you want to ensure there are no major fluctuations with your delivery rates.
