How to add DKIM and DMARC records in GoDaddy? Video
Starting in February 2024, Gmail and Yahoo are rolling up new authentication requirements which require using a custom DKIM authenticated domain with DMARC reinforced.
GetResponse strongly advises all senders to use email addresses from their own sending domains as a from field, and to configure both DKIM and DMARC.
For additional details on these modifications, refer to our blog post:
