DNS Configurations to bypass spam filters

Once FiercePhish, SMTP, and DKIM are installed, there are extremely important DNS entries for you to set to bypass spam filters:

In the table below, $DOMAIN represents the domain name you purchased ("domain.com"), and $SERVER_IP represents the publicly facing IP address of your server:

Record Type Host Value
A @ $SERVER_IP
A www $SERVER_IP
A mail $SERVER_IP
MX N/A mail.$DOMAIN.
TXT @ v=spf1 a mx a:mail.$DOMAIN a:$DOMAIN ip4:$SERVER_IP ~all
TXT mail._domainkey DKIM Key from step 4 of this guide
TXT _dmarc v=DMARC1; p=none

The automated installer will provide these values for you at the end of installation.
