Sending emails from your own domain
You can send emails to certificate recipients from your own domain in the BCdiploma back office. Here are the steps to set up this feature.
1. Provide us with the domain name you want to use
You have the option to use your main domain, like bcdiploma.com in the case of BCdiploma. However, if technical or IT policy constraints prevent you from using it (for example, if there is already a TXT record with the same key on the main domain), or if you simply prefer, you can opt to use a subdomain. For example, for BCdiploma, this could be mailing.bcdiploma.com
Tips
For subdomain users only: some DNS registrars do not allow a TXT record with the same key as a CNAME record. In such cases, ensure that the subdomain you choose is not already used by another type of record.
2. Add DNS records to your domain
- a
TXTrecord withmail._domainkeyas key and as value:
k=rsa;p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDeMVIzrCa3T14JsNY0IRv5/2V1/v2itlviLQBwXsa7shBD6TrBkswsFUToPyMRWC9tbR/5ey0nRBH0ZVxp+lsmTxid2Y2z+FApQ6ra2VsXfbJP3HE6wAO0YTVEJt1TmeczhEd2Jiz/fcabIISgXEdSpTYJhb0ct0VJRxcg4c8c7wIDAQAB
Tips
If you use a subdomain, like mailing in mailing.bcdiploma.com, your key must be suffixed with your subdomain. In this example, the key would be mail._domainkey.mailing.
- a
TXTrecord with@as key and as value:
brevo-code:09357c2630559d902817770f34dbf0b1
Tips
If you use a subdomain, like mailing in mailing.bcdiploma.com, the key should be suffixed with your subdomain. In this case, the key would be mailing instead of @.
For this DNS entry, @ represents your root domain, e.g. bcdiploma.com. This root domain can be represented differently depending on your DNS management service, such as the full domain name followed by a full stop (bcdiploma.com.) or by leaving the zone empty. When in doubt, be sure to check the specific documentation for your DNS management service.
- a
TXTrecord with_dmarcas key and as value:
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:rua@dmarc.brevo.com
Warning
If you already have a _dmarc record, do not add a new one and leave your current record unchanged.
- Optionally, and depending on your email sending security policy, you can configure an additional
SPFentry to maximize the security of your email deliveries. This is aTXTrecord with the valuev=spf1 include:spf.brevo.com mx ~all.
Warning
Implementing SPF record requires a good understanding of your email sending policy, especially if you already have a record of this type. We encourage you to consult this guide for potential implementation.
