SPF is a method of preventing email spoofing by verifying that the message came from a server that actually belongs to your domain.
Creating DKIM Record for Surftown
Contact Surftown’s support team to get your DKIM keys and enable DKIM authentication for your domains. Surftown’s support will hand you over a DKIM key pair that will contain:
- A DKIM public key: to be published in your public-facing DNS
- A DKIM private key: used by Surftown to sign your outgoing emails, that is to be uploaded on their webserver
Alternatively, if you are using your own domains registered on Surftown, instead of Surftown’s internal domains to send emails to your clients, you can generate your DKIM key pair using our free DKIM record generator tool.
