How to Whitelist Email?

How to Whitelist Email?

Notes

Email whitelisting allows Dyrect to send emails on behalf of your domain while ensuring proper email authentication and delivery. This setup requires connecting your email domain in the Dyrect Client Portal and configuring DNS records with your domain provider.

Step 1: Log in to Dyrect Back Office

  1. Log in to your Dyrect Client Portal.

  2. Navigate to Settings → Email Domains.



Step 2: Connect an Email Domain

  1. Open the Email Domains section.

  2. Click Connect Email Domain.

  3. A modal window will appear requesting the following information:

Field Example
Root Domain warranty.com
Sender Prefix dyrect

Resulting Sender Email:

Root Domain Sender Prefix Sender Email
neurowarranty.com support support@neurowarranty.com
  1. Enter the required details.

  2. Click Continue.




Step 3: DNS Verification (CNAME Records)

  1. After clicking Continue, Dyrect will generate the required DNS records.

  2. The system will display one or more CNAME records.

  3. These records must be added to your domain's DNS settings.

  4. Once the records are added, Dyrect will verify the domain automatically.

  5. The domain status will change to Verified after successful verification.



Step 4: How to Add DNS Records

Access Your DNS Provider

Log in to the platform where your domain DNS is managed.

Common providers include:

Open DNS Management

Navigate to one of the following sections:

  • Domain Settings → DNS Management

  • DNS Records

  • Advanced DNS

  • Zone Editor

Add DNS Records Shared by Dyrect

Add all DNS records exactly as provided by Dyrect.

Depending on your configuration, records may include:

  • SPF Records

  • DKIM Records

  • DMARC Records

  • MX Records

  • TXT Records

  • CNAME Records

These records are required to:

  • Verify domain ownership

  • Authenticate outgoing emails

  • Improve email deliverability

  • Reduce spam and spoofing risks

Save DNS Changes

After adding all records:

  1. Save the changes.

  2. Verify that all records have been entered correctly.

Wait for DNS Propagation

DNS updates can take up to 24 hours to propagate globally.

During this period:

  • Domain verification may remain pending.

  • Email authentication services will gradually become active.


Step 5: Set as Default and Activate

Once the domain status shows Verified:

  1. Open the Actions menu for the verified email domain.

  2. Click Set as Default.

  3. Mark the email configuration as Active.



Result

After successful verification and activation:

  • All outgoing emails from Dyrect will use the configured sender address.

  • Email authentication will be enabled.

  • Email deliverability and sender reputation will improve.

Example

Configured Domain: warranty.com

Sender Prefix: neurowarranty

Sender Email: support@neurowarranty.com

All future system emails will be sent using this verified sender address.


Conclusion

By completing the email domain connection and DNS configuration process, your organization enables secure and authenticated email delivery through Dyrect. Proper DNS setup ensures reliable email communication, improves inbox placement, and protects your domain from unauthorized email usage.
