Tired of your important business emails getting flagged as spam or, worse, falling into the wrong hands? In an age where email security is more crucial than ever, protecting your domain’s reputation is a top priority. Enter SPF and DKIM—two essential records that not only keep your emails safe but also ensure they’re delivered straight to your recipient’s inbox with confidence.

Starting 23-Oct-2024, public and unauthenticated domains used as “from” addresses in outgoing emails will be replaced with our verified domain.

This step-by-step guide will walk you through the simple yet essential process of configuring SPF and DKIM records in GoDaddy’s DNS Manager. With these configurations, you’ll not only secure your email communication but also enhance the credibility of every message you send. Let’s dive into how you can safeguard your domain with just a few quick steps!

Step 1: Access DNS Settings
  1. Log in to your GoDaddy account.
  2. Navigate to the domain you want to manage and click Manage DNS.
Step 2: Add SPF Records to Prevent Spoofing

SPF ensures only authorized servers send emails for your domain. To configure SPF:

  1. Select TXT as the DNS record type.
  2. In Name, enter @.
  3. In Value, input v=spf1 include:usermail.zohocreator.com -all.
  4. Ensure only the Zoho SPF record is active, as multiple SPF records may cause issues.
Step 3: Set Up DKIM for Enhanced Email Integrity

DKIM adds a unique signature to your emails to verify authenticity:

  1. Add a new TXT record.
  2. Input the DKIM selector provided by Zoho in Name.
  3. Paste the DKIM key from Zoho’s Admin Console into the Value field.
Step 5: Verify and Wait

Once you’ve added all the records, verify them in Zoho’s Admin Console. Give the records up to 48 hours to propagate fully.

Final Takeaway: Unlock the Full Potential of Your Emails

By setting up SPF and DKIM records, you’re not only protecting your domain from cyber threats but also enhancing your email’s trustworthiness. These configurations ensure your messages bypass spam filters and reach your recipients securely. It’s a simple, yet powerful step toward maintaining a professional image and staying ahead in the digital world.

Take charge of your email security today—because every message you send deserves to be trusted, delivered, and read.
