Please review and complete the following instructions to update your DNS as soon as possible. Once completed, please let us know so we can verify everything is setup as expected:
Access your Domain Registrar's Control Panel: Log in to the control panel provided by your domain registrar (the company where you bought your domain name).
Navigate to DNS Management: Locate the section related to managing your domain's DNS records. This might be labelled "DNS Management", "Domain Nameservers", or something similar.
Modify/Add Records: Depending on your purpose, you can either modify existing records or add new ones. Different record types like A records (pointing to your website's IP address), CNAME records (pointing to another domain), and TXT (allows you to store text information associated with your domain name) have specific fields to be filled with the required information.
Use the values below to fill in the required slots.
1. TXT Record
We need to verify that you have access to an email account or the TXT records for your label.
Create a TXT record in your domain's DNS records with the following:
Type: TXT
Name/host: @
Value: mandrill_verify.JCMmE0_XpJu7sCH174mexQ
2. DKIM
DKIM is a DNS-based email authentication mechanism that helps Mandrill more effectively send mail on your behalf by allowing receivers to verify that we have permission to send your email.
To Enable DKIM:
Create two CNAME records: one with the name mte1._domainkey with the value dkim1.mandrillapp.com, and another with the name mte2._domainkey and the value dkim2.mandrillapp.com
3. DMARC
A DMARC policy is an authentication protocol that can be added to your domain to help protect against fraud and increase deliverability. Beginning in 2024, Mandrill requires a minimum DMARC policy of "v=DMARC1; p=none" to be added to any sending domain. Read more about additional configurations available at dmarc.org.
To Enable DMARC:
1. Create and save a TXT record in your DNS with a host of _dmarc. and a value of v=DMARC1; p=none;
Save Changes: Once you've made the necessary modifications, save your changes in the control panel.
