To ensure our customers maintain the best possible sender reputation and uphold legitimate sending behavior, we have now made it possible to create DKIM records on your DNS server for your Beambox sender email address.
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an authentication standard used to prevent email spoofing. To set up DKIM, you must add CNAME records to your DNS settings for the domain you want to authenticate.
To set this up through your Beambox account, follow the below steps:
Head to your account drop-down menu located within the top-right-hand corner of the platform:
Select Settings:
Within the Marketing subheading, select Sender Emails. Choosing the best email address for your email sender is crucial for improving deliverability, maintaining brand consistency, and building trust with your audience.
Always send emails from an address associated with your own domain/business email (e.g., name@yourcompany.com). Using a free email provider (like Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook) looks unprofessional and may raise flags with email providers, affecting your deliverability.
Once you have added your sender email address, select the small tool icon that will display your DKIM details:
To verify your domain, you will need to add a CNAME record to your DNS configuration:
Important Note: You need to add the three CNAME to your DNS. Copy the CNAME up until 'domainkey'.
Example:
Name:
ghaqnjh7g54nn6uxpchtcriubdyrnvae._domainkey
f47zpzie5s65c35cx5l3pnvq4k5xhkdp._domainkey
zwd2l7akok2o5jc7nzon243tmhoqmgxv._domainkey
Type: CNAME
Value:
ghaqnjh7g54nn6uxpchtcriubdyrnvae.dkim.amazonses.com
f47zpzie5s65c35cx5l3pnvq4k5xhkdp.dkim.amazonses.com
zwd2l7akok2o5jc7nzon243tmhoqmgxv.dkim.amazonses.com
You can verify your DKIM status by selecting Check Status, located in the bottom right-hand corner of the pop-up:
Once we've detected that you have added these records to your DNS configuration, all emails sent from this domain will be authenticated using DKIM. You can check your DKIM Status under the heading:
