This article is intended for gyms that want to prevent their clients or members from receiving their emails in their spam folder, or that receive a “Delivery Status Notification (Failure)” when sending emails.
To improve email delivery, you need to add SPF and DMARC records to your domain.
1. Add Amazon SES to your SPF record
Log in to the company where your domain is managed, such as GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Namecheap, Gandi, or another domain provider.
Open your DNS settings and look for a TXT record that starts with:
v=spf1
Your domain must have only one SPF record.
If you do not already have an SPF record
Create a new DNS record with the following values:
Field | Value |
Type |
|
Name or Host |
|
Value |
|
TTL | Automatic or default |
If you already have an SPF record
Add include:amazonses.com to the existing SPF record.
For example, if your current record is:
v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
Replace it with:
v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com ~all
Do not create a second SPF record. All SPF authorizations must be combined into a single record.
2. Add a DMARC record
In your DNS settings, create a new record with the following values:
Field | Value |
Type |
|
Name or Host |
|
Value |
|
TTL | Automatic or default |
If your domain provider automatically adds your domain name, enter only _dmarc in the Name or Host field.
For example, if your email address is [email protected], the record will apply to:
_dmarc.yourgym.com
Important: Use p=none when initially configuring DMARC. Do not use p=quarantine or p=reject until your email authentication has been configured and verified. These settings may cause more emails to be filtered or rejected.
3. Wait for the changes to take effect
After saving the changes, DNS updates may take up to 24 hours to take effect.
FLiiP cannot make these changes on your behalf. For compliance, security, and access-control reasons, DNS settings must be updated directly by the domain owner or by someone authorized to manage your domain and email configuration.
If you are not sure how to make these changes, contact:
your IT team;
the person who manages your domain;
the person who has access to your email and DNS configuration.
Once the changes have taken effect, send a test email to a Hotmail or Outlook address.
