Mailchimp Domain Authentication

[delcorsets]

I'm not seeing anything in the Miva docs regarding Mailchimp domain authentication.

If I'm understanding the process correctly, I need to add a couple DNS records in Plesk for the domains I want to authenticate.

- Add a CNAME record for k1._domainkey.doman-name with the value of: dkim.mcsv.net
- Since an SPF record already exists, modify the existing TXT record for SPF by adding: include:servers.mcsv.net ?all

So, would the modified TXT record look something like this:

v=spf1 a a:deda458.mivamerchant.net ~all include:servers.mcsv.net ?all

Hey Psydde,

I'm not positive, and I haven't done this yet for Mailchimp. I am pretty sure you can have more than one SPF record. I think you simply add another SPF record with the details they are specifying.

Thanks Scott.

I was unsure about adding a second SPF record, I heard it was not recommended.

"v=spf1 a a:deda458.mivamerchant.net ~all" is the record that already exists, so I'll try adding a second record with MailChimp's detals, "v=spf1 servers.mcsv.net ?all"

Any other MailChimp users out there that have done this?

Be well Scott!
(btw, I'll DM you.. had an issue with checkout on your site that you might want to look into.)

Yes, that's actually correct. Only one. Hopefully, I didn't mislead you. I recently added a second one, different scenario, to authenticate but removed it immediately once that was accomplished. Seems the "include" method would have been been the method to use. It appears that there is a character limit to an SPF od 255 characters.
