Domain authentication

If you use your own domain name to send emails, it's important to have email authentication. It's like a digital signature for your domain that helps protect your brand, identity, content, and reputation. It makes it difficult for others to pretend to send emails on your behalf and can help increase your overall email deliverability when sending from TouchBasePro.  

If you haven't authenticated your sending domain with DKIM, some email clients will flag your emails as coming from a different server. This can potentially cause them to be blocked, or lead subscribers to believe they're receiving spam. 

Setting up email authentication is a technical process and requires access to systems outside of the TouchBasePro system, like your DNS. If terms like TXT records, CNAME records, TTL settings, and public-private keys aren't familiar to you, ask someone in your IT team to help you.
