How to Authenticate Your Domain in Mailzzy (Step-by-Step)

Authenticating your domain is an essential step to ensure your emails are trusted and successfully delivered. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the domain authentication process in Mailzzy.

Why Authenticate Your Domain?

Domain authentication proves that your emails are genuinely sent from your organization. It helps:

• Reduce the risk of spam, phishing, and spoofing.

• Protect your brand's reputation.

• Increase email deliverability and trust from recipients.

• Comply with email-sending policies from providers like Gmail and Yahoo.

Step 1: Add Your Domain in Mailzzy

In your Mailzzy account, click your profile dropdown and go to Senders, Domains, and Dedicated IPs > Domains.

• Click Add Domain.
• If your domain is already listed, click Authenticate next to it.
• Enter your domain name in the Domain Name field (e.g., yourcompany.com).
• Click Add Domain to proceed to the authentication page.

Step 2: Authenticate Your Domain

Once you've added your domain, you'll need to update your DNS settings through your domain host.

• Copy the 2 CNAME records provided by Mailzzy.
• Log in to your domain host account (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap) and add these CNAME records to your DNS settings.
• Return to Mailzzy and click Refresh Status to check if the records are updated.
• When the status shows 'Updated', the Complete Authentication button will be enabled.
• Click Complete Authentication.

Step 3: Submit Additional Information

To complete the process:
