DNS Configuration    

 

To ensure the success of your email campaigns on the Glue Up platform, it’s essential to set up your DNS and sender email settings properly. Improper configuration may result in your sender or domain being blacklisted by the recipient mail server.

To avoid having your emails marked as spam or junk, adding a CNAME DNS code is recommended. Major email providers, such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Outlook, use DKIM to verify incoming emails and determine if they’re spam or fake. Emails that cannot be verified are more likely to be marked as spam.
