Learn how to verify a domain identify when configuring advanced SMTP server.
- Click
View
in the DKIM Status column of the Identities table. The DKIM Settings dialog pops up.
Figure 1. - Add the three CNAME records in the pop-up dialog to your domain’s DNS settings.
If the name in the DKIM settings ends with
_domainkey
, append your domain name that is being verified to the end of that name. For example, if the name isctoy2wj55u._domainkey
, specifyctoy2wj55u._domainkey.yourcompany.com
in your DNS settings. Note that some DNS service providers might automatically add the domain name. In this case, to avoid duplication of the domain name, you should not add it. How you update the DNS settings depends on who provides your DNS service. If your DNS service is provided by a domain name registrar, contact that registrar to update your DNS records.Note:If you click View in the Verification Status column, you can see a TXT record in the pop-up window. You do not need to add this TXT record to your domain's DNS settings to verify a domain identity.
