If you're tech-savvy and manage your own domain settings, follow these steps to optimize your email authentication:

  1. In Mailchimp, you'll encounter prompts to add CNAME1 and CNAME2, essentially unique identifiers for your emails.
  2. Copy the specific alphanumeric values provided by Mailchimp for these identifiers.
  3. 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.

This is a tutorial to authenticate your domain email address for mass emails sent through Mailchimp. I do not use affiliate links inside my Mailchimp emails.

You're welcome. I hope this is able to help those who do use Mailchimp for email marketing to lead their audience to their main website.
