by

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an email authentication protocol that helps prevent spam and phishing emails from being sent from your domain. In this article, we will guide you through the process of activating DKIM in MailerLite.

Step 1: Log in to Your MailerLite Account

To begin, log in to your MailerLite account and navigate to the “Settings” tab. From there, select “Domain Verification.”

Step 2: Add a TXT Record to Your Domain’s DNS Settings

Next, you will need to add a TXT record to your domain’s DNS settings. This record contains the DKIM public key that MailerLite generates for you. Follow these steps to add the TXT record:

  1. Log in to your domain registrar or hosting provider’s website.
  2. Navigate to the DNS settings section of your account.
  3. Create a new TXT record with the following information:
  • Host: _domainkey.yourdomain.com (replace “yourdomain” with your actual domain name)
  • Value: The DKIM public key provided by MailerLite in the “Domain Verification” section.
  • Save the changes to your DNS settings.

    • Step 3: Verify Your Domain with MailerLite

    Once you have added the TXT record to your domain’s DNS settings, return to the “Domain Verification” section in MailerLite. Click on the “Verify” button and wait for MailerLite to confirm that your domain has been successfully verified.

    Step 4: Activate DKIM in MailerLite

    After verifying your domain, you can now activate DKIM in MailerLite. Navigate back to the “Settings” tab and select “Email Sending.” Scroll down to the “DKIM Signature” section and enable the option by checking the box.

    Step 5: Test Your Emails

    To ensure that DKIM is working correctly, send a test email from MailerLite. You can use an email testing tool or check your email headers to verify that the DKIM signature is present and valid.

    Conclusion

    By following these steps, you have successfully activated DKIM in MailerLite. This will help protect your domain from spam and phishing emails, ensuring that your email communications are secure and trustworthy.
