Time to complete: ~10 minutes

One of the best ways to get more of your emails into your subscribers' inboxes is to authenticate your sending domain using AWeber’s new Custom DKIM feature.

DKIM is an email authentication technology that helps stop spoofed emails. It allows you to send a positive signal to mailbox providers (e.g., Gmail) that your emails can be trusted, and increases the chances of your email landing in the inbox.

Using custom DKIM also gives you access to AMP for Email features, making your email content more dynamic and interactive.

Here’s how to set up custom DKIM in AWeber:

Add your domain to your AWeber account and verify ownership of your sending email address.
Log in to your DNS provider's website.
Add three DKIM CNAME records.
Add or update your SPF record.
Verify your DNS records in your AWeber account.

How do I set up DKIM and SPF records for my domain?
