Booqable sends e-mail through a service called Mandrill. To prevent e-mails from ending up in your customers spam folder setup one of the following records below.
If you don’t know how to do this ask your hosting provider, domain name registrar, DNS provider or webmaster.
To add the SPF and DKIM records for your sending domains, you’ll need to add records of type ‘TXT’ through your hosting provider, domain registrar, or DNS provider.
SPF record
If you don’t yet have an SPF record, you’ll want to add one for your domain. At a minimum, the value should be the following if you’re only sending mail through Mandrill for that domain: v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com ?all
If you already have a TXT record with SPF information, you’ll need to add Mandrill’s servers to that record by adding include:spf.mandrillapp.com
in the record (before the last operator, which is usually ?all
,~all
, or -all
).
DKIM record
Add a new TXT record with the name mandrill._domainkey.yourdomain.com
(just replace yourdomain.com with the domain you’re setting up).
The value for the record should be one of the options listed below. There are two options because the record contains semicolons, and some DNS providers escape semicolons for you, while others require you to do it when setting up the record.
With semicolons escaped:
v=DKIM1\; k=rsa\; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCrLHiExVd55zd/IQ/J/mRwSRMAocV/hMB3jXwaHH36d9NaVynQFYV8NaWi69c1veUtRzGt7yAioXqLj7Z4TeEUoOLgrKsn8YnckGs9i3B3tVFB+Ch/4mPhXWiNfNdynHWBcPcbJ8kjEQ2U8y78dHZj1YeRXXVvWob2OaKynO8/lQIDAQAB\;
With semicolons unescaped:
v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCrLHiExVd55zd/IQ/J/mRwSRMAocV/hMB3jXwaHH36d9NaVynQFYV8NaWi69c1veUtRzGt7yAioXqLj7Z4TeEUoOLgrKsn8YnckGs9i3B3tVFB+Ch/4mPhXWiNfNdynHWBcPcbJ8kjEQ2U8y78dHZj1YeRXXVvWob2OaKynO8/lQIDAQAB;
