How to setup DMARC, DKIM, and SPF for Hornetsecurity

 

Update your DNS records: Create 2 NS Records TYPE = NS  NAME = _domainkey  DATA = ns1.hornetdmarc.com and ns2.hornetdmarc.com

                                                               

 

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Identify your domain: Determine the domain you want to set up DKIM for (e.g., YOURDOMAIN.TLD).

2. Access your DNS records: Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider’s control panel where you manage your domain’s DNS records.

3. Add the first CNAME record:
• Name/Host: hse1._domainkey.YOURDOMAIN.TLD
• Type: CNAME
• Value/Target: hse1._domainkey.hornetsecurity.com
• TTL (Time to Live): Leave at default or a reasonable value (e.g., 1 hour).

4. Add the second CNAME record:
• Name/Host: hse2._domainkey.YOURDOMAIN.TLD
• Type: CNAME
• Value/Target: hse2._domainkey.hornetsecurity.com
• TTL (Time to Live): Leave at default or a reasonable value (e.g., 1 hour).

5. Save the records: Save both CNAME records in your DNS control panel.

6. Verify the records: Allow some time for the DNS changes to propagate (up to 24 hours) and then verify that the records are set up correctly using a DNS lookup tool.

7. Enable DKIM in Hornet Security (MPMail):
• Log into your MPMail control panel.
• Go to Security Settings, Email Authentication.
• Confirm that the DKIM status for the domain has been checked successfully.
• Enable ‘Activate DKIM signature for outgoing emails’. 

*MAY Need to add public key in the DMARC Manager the DKIM record hse1._domainkey.hornetsecurity.com hse2._domainkey.hornetsecurity.com CNAME Record Type.*

SPF TXT RECORD: v=spf1 redirect=YOURDOMAIN.COM.spf.hornetdmarc.com

Add CNAME NAME = autodiscover DATA = autodiscover.hornetsecurity.com

 

Add CNAME NAME = _dmarc DATA = YOURDOMAIN.COM.dmarc,hornetdmarc.com
