  2. Inside CPanel, locate the option to Add Record.


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:

    • 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):

    • Set TTL to 1 hour or leave it as default.

    • Click Save Changes.


Step 6: Verify DNS Records in Uppush

  1. After adding the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in Bluehost, go back to the Uppush app.

  2. Navigate to the Verify Domain section in Uppush.

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

  4. It may take a few minutes for the DNS records to propagate, but if everything is configured correctly, the status will show as Verified.
