To use your own domain name with Sendkit, several DNS records must be configured. These records allow you to authenticate your emails, secure your sender identity, and ensure optimal deliverability with major email providers. The records to be implemented are as follows:
An SPF
Host: {votre-domaine}
Value: v=spf1 include:spf.tipimail.com -all
A DKIM : regarding DKIM, you have the choice to configure a 1024-bit key or a 2048-bit key (recommended).
DKIM 1024:
Host: mta._domainkey.{votre-domaine}
Value: "v=DKIM1;k=rsa;
p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDh50JnspQbjA8gu9Q7togGADxpXmxSy3Q8MoMBkT16RGuMgad7eNmgS3lCrMB6ScN3EKmFbplk6aBOBJzA0NtQsTRZzBIrK61sBiAgzOn1w2sUC/GS26MslZhOiXNQFqPLDq3RUwediyyR7j29MCJXZ0rfjBDbnNgDmnmyf8LtkwIDAQAB"
DKIM 2048:
Host: mta2048._domainkey.{votre-domaine}
Value:"v=DKIM1;k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA6u1uEOvWyPBeU6qF3OXU1BgbQ6LMJKP47/8N1u4xIxLZ2D1NOW6RHWD+9t6M3xS5OtRlvHg483WvXQ7bSfmcPG+oXcSaGTRxaQ2QtSyStopl0VRJxxzpRrd4pFuViwb7Fq2Oj5ujpn2YQMg7BSlN+dSrma5cC7Gf7JtER9T0w94BMpZzacFP3svksXvpEroP0" "6LewCo+qzL4i+wkCuz/y5yx5R0tDUt4cziEaJ3nJ16VRoNrxwo2rzA210oc2sgAhL2GdcMQNxGc/s2FUZ1gQEbfNTBpKxJITqH+Reo/ZatV5ChMWRJnlTXEo0zj32erKdcTW3h/gvJ6ItA/JnEiIQIDAQAB"
An MX
Host: {your-domain}
Value: mx.customizedurl.com.
An A record: You can either use the IP address of your own server or use the following record:
Host: {your-domain}
Value: 217.74.111.248
A tracking domain
Host: click.{your-domain} (or mail.your-domain or link.your-domain for example)
Value: link.domaincustom.net.
Having a domain name configured on your account is essential for your emails to ensure you achieve the best possible deliverability.
Email providers are continuously strengthening their requirements regarding sender authentication and identity. In this context, Microsoft for example places increasing importance on consistency between the sending domain, authentication mechanisms (spf, dkim) and links present in emails.
Configuring a custom tracking domain allows you to align tracking links with your own domain name, thereby strengthening the trust accorded to your messages and their reputation. This configuration is now an essential element for optimizing deliverability in order to limit filtering risks.
This is why our platform requires the configuration of spf, dkim, mx records, as well as the tracking domain before validating your domain.
