Deliverability

Verify your sending domain

Add DKIM and SPF records so your mail authenticates and lands in the inbox.

Why it matters

Unauthenticated mail is filtered aggressively. Verifying your domain proves you are allowed to send as it, and lets you use your own address rather than a shared one.

Add the records

Open Senders, add your domain, and copy the DKIM and SPF records shown into your DNS provider. Verification usually completes within an hour, though DNS propagation can take longer.

Keep the records in place permanently. Removing them breaks authentication for future sends.

Warm up a new domain

Start with your most engaged contacts and increase volume gradually over two to three weeks. Sending a large first campaign from a brand-new domain is the fastest route to the spam folder.
