Configuring outgoing domain names DNS records
Simply put, it means adding SPF and CNAME records to the domain DNS records to complete the outgoing domain name authentication
*Second-level domain naming example: newsletter.mydomain.com
Note: The sender needs to modify some settings at the domain name registrar to complete the authentication. Please consult your company's network management or operation staff or the web developer.
Common operation steps in the DNS domain name service backend
First, the operator has to know which provider owns the domain name. Then log in to the domain name management system and configure it in the domain name backend.
The operation steps below are how to add a new resolution rather than modify the original resolution so it will not affect other resolutions.
- Log in to your domain name backend
- Add 5 records (The relevant DNS information will be provided after you submit the application form)
For example, if your second-level domain is newsletter.mydomain.com,
1) A record: Add an A record to point to the domain newsletter.mydomain.com to the IP address.
Type: A
Host record: newsletter.mydomain.com.
Record value: refer to the domain name configuration information
2) DKIM: Create a CNAME record for dmddkim.newsletter.mydomain.com
Type: CNAME
Host record: refer to the domain name configuration information
Record value: refer to the domain name configuration information
3) SPF: Create a TXT record for newsletter.mydomain.com
Type: TXT
Host record: refer to the domain name configuration information
Record Value: refer to the domain name configuration information
4) DMARC: Create a CNAME record for dmarc.newsletter.mydomain.com
Type: CNAME
Host record: refer to the domain name configuration information
Record Value: refer to the domain name configuration information
5) MX: Create a MX record for newsletter.mydomain.com
Type: MX
Host record: refer to the domain name configuration information
Record Value: refer to the domain name configuration information
Notes:
In practice, please replace the above newsletter.mydomain.com with the domain name that the sender needs to resolve and authenticate.
Since the operations of changing DNS records for each domain name provider are different, we have listed some related operations links on how to edit and change DNS records on some mainstream DNS service providers. If the sender's DNS service provider is not listed below, please contact the relevant provider for assistance. (Some of them are only available in Simplified Chinese)

After adding the domain name to the record, please timely inform the SmartPush Team that the addition has been completed by email. The Team will authenticate the domain name as soon as possible.
The authentication usually takes effect in 20 minutes to 24 hours. After that, you can see your brand outgoing domain name in [Settings] - [Sending Domains].
