DKIM

Create two CNAME records:

1) one with the name mte1._domainkey.yourdomain.com with the value dkim1_mandrillapp.com

2) and another with the name mte2._domainkey.yourdomain.com and the value dkim2.mandrillapp.com
​

DMARC

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


​EXTRA TIP: Replace yourdomain.com with the domain you're setting up. Some domain hosts automatically add yourdomain.com after the initial value-contact your domain provider for any specifics.


Let us know if you need any clarifications on the above! 😊

*Note: since these settings are not part of the Viral Loops dashboard, we can only provide you the right (generic) values and possible errors that prevent you from setting everything right (except the first verification step that we can do manually for you if needed). Each provider has its own fields, settings, and format, therefore if you face difficulties/problems, you need to contact their support team for additional assistance.
