6. Copy DKIM DNS Records

Once enabled, SmarterMail will provide:

  • Text Record Name

  • Text Record Value

These are the DNS TXT records that need to be added to your domain’s DNS zone.

7. Update DNS Zone

Access your DNS management panel (e.g., through your domain registrar or hosting provider) and add the provided TXT record using the Name and Value generated by SmarterMail.

Important: DNS propagation may take some time. After adding the record, return to SmarterMail and verify DKIM status once DNS changes have propagated.
