Email settings, add DNS records to your sending domain

SabeeApp employs MandrillApp as its transactional email provider. This ensures that all emails sent from SabeeApp reach the recipient's inbox rather than their spam folder.

While the majority of emails from SabeeApp are not categorized as spam, you can still take extra steps to ensure that all your sent items end up in the correct location

All you have to do is to add SPF, DKIM and DMARC records and verify ownership of your sending domains.

To add the SPF and DKIM records for your sending domains, you'll need to add records of type TXT through your hosting provider, domain registrar, or DNS provider.

If you are unfamiliar about how to add these records, please share this article with your hosting provider.

SPF Record

If you don't yet have an SPF record, add one for your domain. At a minimum, the value should be the following if you're only sending mail through Mandrill for that domain:

v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com ?all

If you already have a TXT record with SPF information, you'll need to add Mandrill's servers to that record by adding include:spf.mandrillapp.com in the record (before the last operator, which is usually ?all, ~all, or -all).

DKIM Record

CNAME

Create two CNAME records: one with the name mte1._domainkey.yourdomain.com with the value dkim1.mandrillapp.com, and another with the name mte2._domainkey.yourdomain.com and the value dkim2.mandrillapp.com

 

TXT

Add a new TXT record with the name mandrill._domainkey.yourdomain.com (just replace yourdomain.com with the domain you're setting up).

The value for the record should be one of the options listed below. There are two options because the record contains semicolons, and some DNS providers escape semicolons for you while others require you to do it when setting up the record.

With semicolons escaped:

v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCrLHiExVd55zd/IQ/J/mRwSRMAocV/hMB3jXwaHH36d9NaVynQFYV8NaWi69c1veUtRzGt7yAioXqLj7Z4TeEUoOLgrKsn8YnckGs9i3B3tVFB+Ch/4mPhXWiNfNdynHWBcPcbJ8kjEQ2U8y78dHZj1YeRXXVvWob2OaKynO8/lQIDAQAB;

With semicolons unescaped:

v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCrLHiExVd55zd/IQ/J/mRwSRMAocV/hMB3jXwaHH36d9NaVynQFYV8NaWi69c1veUtRzGt7yAioXqLj7Z4TeEUoOLgrKsn8YnckGs9i3B3tVFB+Ch/4mPhXWiNfNdynHWBcPcbJ8kjEQ2U8y78dHZj1YeRXXVvWob2OaKynO8/lQIDAQAB;

 

DMARK

Create and save a TXT record in your DNS with a name of _dmarc.yourdomain.com and a value of v=DMARC1; p=none
