To set up your CNAME record please follow these steps:

• Step 1: Sign in to your domain host.
• Step 2: Decide your unique CNAME record.
• Step 3: Add the CNAME record to your domain’s DNS records if you are in the process of mapping your website.

Note: You can also read Add a CNAME record to your domain's DNS records for more details.

Custom Email Sender

Email Sender is the email address where your system emails will be sent from. Before adding Email Sender to the Custom Email Sender field, you are required to get the Email Sender setting done by updating DKIM & SPF records and verifying the email before using.

1. Setting up DKIM

DKIM is a DNS-based email authentication mechanism that helps us more effectively send mail on your behalf by allowing receivers to verify that we have permission to send your email.

To enable DKIM, please follow these 2 steps:

• Step 1: Replace yourdomain.com in mandrill._domainkey.yourdomain.com with the domain you're setting up.

• Step 2: Create a TXT record for mandrill._domainkey.yourdomain.com with the below DKIM value:

v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCrLHiExVd55zd/IQ/J/mRwSRMAocV/hMB3jXwaHH36d9NaVynQFYV8NaWi69c1veUtRzGt7yAioXqLj7Z4TeEUoOLgrKsn8YnckGs9i3B3tVFB+Ch/4mPhXWiNfNdynHWBcPcbJ8kjEQ2U8y78dHZj1YeRXXVvWob2OaKynO8/lQIDAQAB;

2. Setting up SPF

SPF is another DNS-based email authentication mechanism.

• If you don't yet have an SPF record, you'll need to add one for your domain. At a minimum, the value should be as the following:

v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com ?all

• If you already have a TXT record with SPF information, you'll need to add the following servers to that record by adding include:spf.mandrillapp.com to the record right before the last operator, which is usually ?all, ~all, or -all.

3. Email Verification

The last step in setting up your custom email sender is to verify the email.

Please provide us your email sender (admin@yourdomain.com for example) so that we can send a verification link to this email address.

Once you have received the verification email, please forward that email to us at support@botstar.com and we’ll handle the rest.
