Outgoing email (SPF and DKIM setup)

👍

This configuration is mandatory only if you have SPF and DKIM setup on your mail infrastructure.

Configuration Setup

All changes required to implement SPF and DKIM has to be done in DNS zone of the domain that will be used to as domain for sending mail.

For instance if the mail address used is <[email protected]> (we suggest to use a dedicated subdomain for sending mail)

1. Add Alcmeon mails server to your SPF record. You have to add a:email.alcmeon.com.
2. Add Alcmeon DKIM public selector. Create the following DNS record (replace $subdomain by your subdomain)

   alcmeon-ext._domainkey.$subdomain IN TXT "v=DKIM1; h=sha256; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDMzjsLyGA2e912f+6DcwDBJL47L/rqfDwmK6NAYzSceU6YUdo6JrkYo8VvjKjElG4Vx1uz/ccuZMh2zSoki7Jb8FKOTY5DHguKToZBiE1ySUB0sPa3S1OEBfMLMBEPfm39bERFF4yZV3xduxxKF5sd8KS1oB+nJRsqaV75LH6woQIDAQAB"
