If you're tech-savvy and manage your own domain settings, follow these steps to optimize your email authentication:
- In Mailchimp, you'll encounter prompts to add CNAME1 and CNAME2, essentially unique identifiers for your emails.
- Copy the specific alphanumeric values provided by Mailchimp for these identifiers.
- Paste these values into the corresponding fields within your website's domain settings. Consider this process akin to configuring a cryptographic key unique to your domain.
These codes serve as cryptographic signatures tailored to your domain, enhancing the precision of email authentication. By seamlessly integrating these identifiers, you establish a secure and personalized connection between your website and Mailchimp, contributing to heightened email deliverability and reinforcing sender authenticity.
