How To Set Up Legacy TXT Records/DNS Records for Your Domain

How To Set Up Legacy TXT Records/DNS Records for Your Domain

At Adit, we strongly urge you to authenticate your domain by implementing SPF and DKIM. To successfully authenticate your sender domain, you need to set up your SPF and DKIM TXT records. Authenticating your sender domain is a simple process that involves four easy steps.
  1. Add your sender domain.
  2. Copy the SPF and DKIM TXT records from your Adit account.
  3. Add the SPF and DKIM TXT records to the DNS server.
  4. Verify your domain in your Adit account after adding the SPF and DKIM TXT records to the DNS server.

Add your sender domain 

  1. Log in to your Adit account.
  2. From the navigation toolbar, choose Locations .
  3. Select Communications under your location.
  4. Enter your sender address in the Sender Address field.
  5. Click the  Send Verification Email button to receive verification emails at the email address you have provided. 
  6. To verify your email addresses, log in to your email client and open the verification email sent by Adit.
  7. Click the Verify your email address button in the email to complete the verification process.
Note : If you have not received the verification email, please check all the folders/filters in your email client. If you still don't find them, please contact  support@adit.com .

Copy SPF and DKIM record values from Adit 

Only the organization's admin has the privilege to access domain authentication settings. You can contact your organization's admin and ask them to help you authenticate your sender domain.
  1. Log in to your Adit account.
  2. From the navigation toolbar, choose Locations .
  3. Select Communications under your location. 
  4. On the Setup page, click the  Copy button next to the text records. 

After copying the SPF and DKIM record values, you can go to your domain hosting website and paste in the copied record values. We've provided the steps of the most popular domain-hosting websites below. However, if you don't find your website in the list, please contact your domain-hosting website's administrator to help you set up the text records. Alternatively, you can also contact your system admin/network admin to configure the TXT records in the DNS settings of your domain.
