About sender feature
The sender’s feature includes the verification process that solidifies the email-sending functionality. This feature guarantees the authenticity and trustworthiness of the email sender, thereby enhancing the sender’s credibility. The verification process includes two methods:
- Email address verification
- Domain verification
Email address verification involves a straightforward process. You simply need access to the mailbox to initiate the verification procedure. On the other hand, domain verification requires you to access DNS management to add SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and Custom MAIL FROM domain records.

How to verify Sender Domain & Email from MailBluster: Step-by-step
The sender feature in MailBluster brings you the opportunity to simplify the management system of the sender domain setup. You don’t need to hover over to the AWS dashboard to set up the whole process. You can easily verify your sender domain using MailBluster’s intuitive sender feature.
Verification depends on the type of the sender, and you can verify the sender in 2 ways-
- Domain verification
- Email verification
Let’s head to the domain verification first.
1Domain verification
Domain verification requires you to have access to your DNS management system, such as Cloudflare or GoDaddy. You need to input some DNS records for verification there. Find out the steps.
Step 1: Log in to MailBluster
After logging into the MailBluster account, choose your Brand. Later, choose Settings from the side menu and head to the @Senders tab.
Step 2: Add your domain
Select Create New, and later appears Type of the sender. This option contains a Domain and Email address verification process. Choose the Domain and add your domain address in the blank field. Click Create Sender.
Step 3: Read the instructions
Next, you see the Sender created pop-up and it contains some instructions. Read the instructions carefully to input DKIM, DMARC, SPF, and MAIL FROM domain records. Click on View Sender to navigate to the next phase.
Step 4: Input DNS records
Following the pop-up, different fields appear where you need to input DKIM, DMARC, SPF, and MAIL FROM domain records. All of these Status are now showing Unverified. You need to verify your domain here.
Step 5: Input DKIM records
Copy the generated Name and Value under DKIM records. Go to your DNS management in CPANEL and click add records to start adding DKIM records. Select CNAME and input the copied Name to the DKIM records field, just like the image shown below. Set Proxy status to off and click Save.
DKIM-signed messages help to receive mail servers validate that a message was not forged or altered in transit.
A CNAME record will be added to the DNS management. The other two CNAME fields need to be added in a similar way. Later, wait at most 48 hours to propagate or click refresh to see if it’s Verified.
Step 6: Input Custom Mail From the domain record
Here you need to add Custom Mail From the domain record. Navigate to the Edit record field. There you get the MAIL FROM domain field. Add your subdomain there and click Save change.
Custom MAIL FROM domain enables you to send emails from a subdomain that you own instead of the default domain provided by Amazon SES.
Your DNS records will be updated to new SPF and CUSTOM MAIL FROM domain records.
Step 7: Input SPF records
Observe your updated SPF records and copy the Name to input the value to the DNS management. Opt to the add record and Type dropdown menu, and select TXT. Copy the Name, Value field and paste it to the DNS management editor. Click Save. Confirm the green Verified section.
SPF record identifies the mail servers and domains that are allowed to send an email on behalf of your domain.
See the steps in the images below:
Step 8: Generate DMARC records
DMARC records require you to generate records. Don’t worry! MailBluster takes you to the authentic DMARC record generator. Click on the Generate record in DMARC record section.
Enter your domain in the blank field on step one and click Start Creating. In step two you need to assign DMARC policy, select Nothing yet, just collect data and click Next.
For aggregate reports sending, you need to specify an email address. In step 3, input the email address on the first blank field, leave the second one blank and click Next.
If you want individual failure reports, you can check the field here. But we suggest you go for the No option. Click Next.
Here you need to assign the Identifier Alignment for DKIM and SPF. Select the default Relaxed option for both alignments.
If you want to apply a different policy for the subdomain, you can use this option for further policy maintenance. We suggest you click No. Click Next.
You can specify how much or what percentage of DMARC policy will be applied to the messages. We suggest you input 100. Click Create Record.
Next, your record will be generated. Copy these codes and input them to the DNS management by creating a New Record. DMARC records will be added to the DNS management.
Go to your MailBluster Sender records and Click Refresh to see if it shows Verified or wait for 48 hours to change it to Verified.
