SPF(supported) (dedicated subdomain)
DKIM(recommended)



This article covers the SPF and DKIM authentication processes for Service Name and how they are managed in Valimail Enforce. Because this service leverages Sendgrid's email infrastructure, it requires additions to your DNS records outside of the Valimail platform. Adding Peoplevine as an authorized sender in the Valimail Enforce usually requires a dedicated subdomain to be pointed to the Sendgrid infrastructure and typically the DKIM keys will be added in the Valimail platform.

Configuring DKIM authentication for your Peoplevine emails


Setting up a Domain Key (DKIM) you further identify your e-mails that they came securely from your server.  In your DNS, we recommend you setup the following DNS entries:


CNAME - Host: sender - VALUE: sender.peoplevine.net

CNAME - Host: s1._domainkey - VALUE: s1._domainkey.peoplevine.net

CNAME - Host: s2._domainkey - VALUE: s2._domainkey.peoplevine.net


Important: If you manage DKIM for your domain in Valimail, you will need to add the 2 CNAME DKIM keys (s1, and s2) on your domain's Configuration page in Valimail Enforce and the 3rd CNAME record in your DNS.


Once you have this in place, please send a request to support@peoplevine.com to setup your DKIM.  Simply provide us with the email address your emails are being sent from.



You can also find the instructions on how to set up DKIM and SPF for Peoplevine, here.
