|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## What We Need
|
|
|
|
Add 3 DNS records to `scripter.app` domain to authenticate Mailchimp for email delivery. This is critical for email deliverability and avoiding spam filters.

|
## DNS Records to Add
|
|
|
|
### 1. SPF Record (Required)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Type: TXT
|
|
Name/Host: @
|
|
Value: v=spf1 include:spf.mailchimp.com ~all
|
|
TTL: Automatic or 3600
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. DKIM Record (Required)
|
|
|
|
**First:** Log into Mailchimp → Account → Settings → Domains → Add Domain → `scripter.app`
|
|
|
|
Mailchimp will generate a unique DKIM key. Then add:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Type: TXT
|
|
Name/Host: k1._domainkey
|
|
Value: v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=[MAILCHIMP-PROVIDED-KEY]
|
|
TTL: Automatic or 3600
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. DMARC Record (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Type: TXT
|
|
Name/Host: _dmarc
|
|
Value: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc@scripter.app
|
|
TTL: Automatic or 3600
|
|
```
