DKIM and SPF records

SendX automatically authenticates all emails sent through our servers, but by adding DNS records to your domain we can send on your behalf and digitally 'sign' your emails. DKIM and SPF are considered the gold standard for the same.

Adding authentication information to your domain helps ISP's to track your sending reputation. This means you maintain full control over the emails that affect deliverability for your domain. A positive reputation for your domain builds trust and improves deliverability, affecting whether your emails are caught by spam filters or not.

SendX provides you capability to add your own providers like Amazon SES or Sendgrid. The guides provide you a step-by-step process to do DKIM/ SPF whitelisting of your domain on SendX.
