### Step 5: Add SPF, DKIM, and DMARC Records

1. **SPF Record (Sender Policy Framework)**:

   SPF helps verify that the email is sent from an authorized server. To add this record, click on **Add New Record**.

   * Enter the SPF record provided by Uppush. It should look like:

   * Set **TTL** to **1 hour** or leave it as default.
   * Click **Save Changes**.
2. **DKIM Record (DomainKeys Identified Mail)**:

   DKIM helps verify the authenticity of your emails by ensuring they haven’t been tampered with during transit. To add this record:

   * Enter the DKIM record provided by Uppush. It should looks like this:&#x20;

   * Set **TTL** to **1 hour** or leave it as default.
   * Click **Save Changes**.
3. **DMARC Record (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance)**:

   DMARC helps to define how email receivers should handle emails that fail SPF or DKIM checks. To add this record:

   * Paste the DMARC record provided by Uppush (for example):
