In order to allow Constant Contact to send emails on behalf of your domain, you need to setup DKIM authentication protocol for it. DKIM helps you verify the legitimacy of your email messages and their respective sending sources. In order to do that, follow the steps below to authenticate your domain.
You have two options to self-authenticate:
Self-authenticate using a CNAME record.
/msdyn_blobfile/$value)
/msdyn_blobfile/$value)
/msdyn_blobfile/$value)
/msdyn_blobfile/$value)
/msdyn_blobfile/$value)
/msdyn_blobfile/$value)
/msdyn_blobfile/$value)
Self-authenticate using a TXT records
/msdyn_blobfile/$value)
/msdyn_blobfile/$value)
/msdyn_blobfile/$value)
You have two options to self-authenticate:
- CNAME records - Most secure way to authenticate your domain.
- TXT record - The best option if you have multiple Constant Contact accounts using the same domain.
Self-authenticate using a CNAME record.
- Log in to your Constant Contact account.
- Navigate to My Accounts on the upper-right corner of your page.
- On the My Account page, click on "Add self-authentication" in the My Profile section
- Select "Self-authenticate using DKIM CNAME records" enter your domain name and click on Generate DKIM key
- Now, login to your DNS management console and publish the records in the designated section for them. Make sure you use the hostname as the name of the CNAME record and paste the value of the record in the section allotted to the CNAME record content.
- Save changes. It might take some time for your DNS to process these changes. After adding the two CNAME records into your DNS settings, go back to Account settings > Advanced settings > and click on Check status or Manage. Click on Activate.
- You can then verify your message is passing DKIM by sending yourself a test message and analyzing the header of the message.
Self-authenticate using a TXT records
- Please follow steps 1-3 in Self-authenticate using a CNAME record.
- Select "Self-authenticate using DKIM TXT records" enter your domain name and click on Generate DKIM key.
- Now, login to your DNS management console and publish the records in the designated section for them. Make sure you use the hostname as the name of the TXT record and paste the value of the record in the section allotted to the TXT record content.
- You can then verify your message is passing DKIM by sending yourself a test message and analyzing the header of the message.
