How to Add DKIM and SPF Records

All email notifications in your LearnWorlds school are being sent by the noreply@learnworlds.com address. We can change this so that all notifications will be sent from @yourdomain.com email address, available in the Learning Center plans or higher. This enhances the overall deliverability of emails and helps the seamless integration of the platform with your site/brand.

This article contains detailed instructions on how to add DKIM and SPF records in GoDaddy a step that is required for white labeling your school's email notifications. Below are the detailed steps. The process is quite similar to other domain hosting providers as well:

1. Go to Godaddy.com and log into your account.

2. Navigate to My products → Domains → Manage DNS.

3. Once the menu with the Records appears, click on Add to add a new record:

The type of record you will be adding is a TXT (Text) type. This will create the SPF Record you need for email. The "Host" Field should contain @ and the "TXT value" should be: v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com ?all

Important Note: If you already have an SPF record (besides the one you need to add for your LearnWorlds school) you need to merge them into one and not create a new record. More specifically, a) you need to edit the existing record and if it ends with ?all change it to ~all (it's essential to use the diacritic mark ~). Then b) add include:spf.mandrillapp.com before the ~all part in your existing SPF record. It's really important to add space before the ~all part, otherwise, the system will produce an error. For example, a final result would look like this: v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.mandrillapp.com ~all 

Once you are done, click on Save.

4. Click on Add again, in order to add a second record. The type of record you will be adding is also a TXT (Text) type. 

This will create the DKIM Record you need for email. The Host Field should contain mandrill._domainkey and the text value should be: 

v=DKIM1;k =rsa;p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCrLHiExVd55zd/IQ/J/mRwSRMAocV/hMB3jXwaHH36d9NaVynQFYV8NaWi69c1veUtRzGt7yAioXqLj7Z4TeEUoOLgrKsn8YnckGs9i3B3tVFB+Ch/4mPhXWiNfNdynHWBcPcbJ8kjEQ2U8y78dHZj1YeRXXVvWob2OaKynO8/lQIDAQAB;

Once you are done, click on Save.

Notes: 

• Don't forget to check if you have added successfully your SPF and DKIM records here https://www.mail-tester.com/spf-dkim-check by inserting your Domain name, and as DKIM Selector, you need to type mandrill.

• If you have purchased more than one domain, you can connect any domain you want to set your email white-labeling, even if your school has a different custom domain connected.
