2. Set the SPF record

Find the Host Records section.

Look for a TXT record with @ as the Host and Value that begins with v=spf1.

Update an existing SPF record

Click on the value and update it by adding include:spf.mailcast.io after the v=spf1 and before the rest of the record, separated with a space on either side.

Add a new SPF record

Click Add New Record and fill in the following values:

Type

This is only necessary if you have enabled sending on your domain.

Find the Host Records section.

Click Add New Record and fill in the following values:

Type
Host
Target
CNAME
mailcast._domainkey

4. Set the DMARC record

This is only necessary if you have enabled sending on your domain.

Find the Host Records section.

Look for a TXT record with _dmarc as the Host.

If you already have a DMARC record, then there is no need to update it.

This is a minimal DMARC record that will suggest that unauthorised emails sent from your domain are marked as spam. Learn more about DMARC to help you decide how to configure your DMARC policy.

Click Add New Record and fill in the following values:

Type
