How to setup SPF, DKIM and DMARC in AWS

0

Hello,

We have domains and subdomains as part of gov.uk in our company and we use AWS Route 53 for DNS. How do I setup SPF, DKIM and DMARC for theses domains and how do I know whether a particular domain can send an email or not?

Many thanks in advance Del

Hi,

Yes, you can configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC in Amazon Route 53.

  1. To configure SPF in Route 53, you need to create a TXT record that contains your SPF policy. This record needs to be added to your domain's DNS zone in Route 53. Your SPF policy specifies which servers are authorised to send email on behalf of your domain. Please refer here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/ResourceRecordTypes.html#SPFFormat on how to configure an SPF record
  2. To set up Easy DKIM, you have to modify the DNS settings for your domain. If you use Route 53 as your DNS provider, Amazon SES can automatically create the appropriate records for you. To configure DKIM in Route 53, you need to create a TXT record that contains your DKIM key. This record needs to be added to your domain's DNS zone in Route 53. Please refer here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/ResourceRecordTypes.html
  3. To configure DMARC in Route 53, you need to create a TXT record that contains your DMARC policy. This record needs to be added to your domain's DNS zone in Route 53. Pleaser refer here for more details: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/messaging-and-targeting/what-is-dmarc-and-should-you-use-it/
