### 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;

   <figure><img src="https://2478559309-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fp0EbXtq6T4WMCO5OtRHB%2Fuploads%2FagaB81fP7Ju5v7hTxKat%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=d0805675-0908-4e9f-ac91-591f484ef0a9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

   * 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):

   <figure><img src="https://2478559309-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fp0EbXtq6T4WMCO5OtRHB%2Fuploads%2FKM5gA2WbnD13GhGFMsNR%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a0da1c72-ae7b-4b5e-9c54-8cade45d5488" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

   * Set **TTL** to **1 hour** or leave it as default.
   * Click **Save Changes**.

3. Click on the **Check DNS** button to verify if the DNS records have been added successfully.
