![]() ![]() The password field can remain empty for the moment. Here you can see that 'Domain' contains the domain name, 'Selector' the selector we have chosen in the DKIM wizard and finally the private key, as is, including '-BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-' and '-END RSA PRIVATE KEY-'. You have to enter the DKIM data into MaxBulk Mailer using the DKIM window: You can see the SPF record followed by DMARC and finally the DKIM record (the last two entries). If you scroll down the page a bit you will see "Step 1: Configure Your DNS Server With The Public Key." with the formatted DKIM DNS record.Īs an example, this is what our DNS record looks like: The public key is the one that will be added to your server DNS record and the private key to MaxBulk Mailer DKIM panel. You will automatically get a public and a private key. Just enter your Domain name and a DomainKey Selector of your choice. I will also write a post about DMARC and email deliverability later.īest if you use this DKIM wizard. You will find more information on DMARC here. Once SPF and DKIM are in place, you configure DMARC by adding policies to your domain's DNS records in the form of TXT records (just like with SPF or DKIM). Don't worry, I will write a post about SPF later.Ī DMARC record is a record where the DMARC rule sets are defined. As DKIM, SPF is not required but highly recommended.You will find more information on SPF here. SPF is an email validation protocol designed to detect and block email spoofing by providing a mechanism to allow receiving mail exchangers to verify that incoming mail from your domain comes from an IP Address authorized by you. This signature is located in the message's header.Īnother quick method to improve your email delivery rates is to incorporate SPF, or the Sender Policy Framework into your DNS settings. You create the DKIM by signing the email with a digital signature. ![]() DKIM allows you to associate your domain name with your email messages, thus vouching for their authenticity. When a mail message is sent with MaxBulk Mailer, the software generates and attaches a unique DKIM signature header to the message. The process works like this: You publish a cryptographic public key as a specially-formatted TXT record in your domain's overall DNS records. I will talk briefly about that below but I will write a complete post about email deliverability later. In addition, when adding a DKIM record it is also a good idea to add SPF and DMARC records. ![]() If you don't have a domain and/or use a Gmail/Hotmail/yahoo address, for example, this is not for you. For example, our domain is '' and our address 'support' belongs to that domain. So, in order to use DKIM first, you need a domain and you have to use an email address from that domain as the sender of your emails. In addition to verifying the authenticity of an email message, DKIM also provides a way for ISPs to track and build a reputation on your domain's sending history. DKIM is optional but quite recommended since having emails that are signed with DKIM appear more legitimate to your recipients and as a result, they are less likely to go to Junk or Spam folders. When you send an email with DKIM activated, it is signed using a private key and then validated on the receiving mail server (or ISP) using a public key on your domain DNS record. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a method for validating the authenticity of email messages. I did send a support query regarding this a long time ago, but never received a response, which is disappointing.With MaxBulk Mailer 8.6.7 we added support for DKIM. Even though the software has a 'reply to' option, any replies to my emails go to the gmail address and not to the company's address that I add into the 'reply to' section, which is annoying. Not all servers allow this, which means that I have to use a gmail address, rather than my company's email address to send out mail. You have to have access to an email server that permits bulk mail. The message portion of the software is very straightforward and allows for plain text as well as formatted text and file attachments. You can import databases of names, addresses, etc., from Excel spreadsheets, CSV files, etc., as well as manually create databases. It's an easy way to communicate with a group of people in this way. Comentarios: I use this software mainly to communicate with our shareholders to give them updates, etc.
