How to add DKIM and DMARC records in GoDaddy? Video
Starting in February 2024, Gmail and Yahoo are rolling out new authentication requirements which require using a custom DKIM authenticated domain with DMARC reinforced.
GetResponse strongly advises all senders to use email addresses from their own sending domains as a from field, and to configure both DKIM and DMARC.
For additional details on these modifications, refer to our blog post:

If you would like to learn more about those records, check our DKIM and DMARC articles.
To add your own DKIM key, make sure you have:
- Your own domain.
- Access to the DNS administration panel.
- A DKIM key provided by GetResponse.
Getting DKIM key
- In the GetResponse Dashboard, click Profile >> Emails and Domains.
- In Email addresses tab click Update DNS record next to the domain name you would like to generate the DKIM key for.
- (Optional) If you would like to use 2048-bit DKIM key – move the slider beside Generate a 2048-bit DKIM key for stronger protection and confirm that.
- Copy host name and value from the pop-up window.
