# How to add DKIM and DMARC records in GoDaddy?

Starting in February 2024, [Gmail](https://blog.google/products/gmail/gmail-security-authentication-spam-protection/) and [Yahoo](https://blog.postmaster.yahooinc.com/post/730172167494483968/more-secure-less-spam) are rolling out new authentication requirements which require using a [custom **DKIM** authenticated domain](https://www.getresponse.com/help/what-is-dkim-and-how-do-i-configure-it.html) with [**DMARC** reinforced](https://www.getresponse.com/help/what-is-dmarc.html).

In April 2025, [Microsoft](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoftdefenderforoffice365blog/strengthening-email-ecosystem-outlook%E2%80%99s-new-requirements-for-high%E2%80%90volume-senders/4399730) joined them with a similar announcement.

GetResponse strongly advises all senders to use email addresses from their own private domains as a [from email address](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-can-i-add-a-new-from-address-and-name-for-my-messages.html), and to configure both **DKIM** and **DMARC**.

For additional details on these modifications, refer to our blog posts:

If you would like to learn more about those records, check our [DKIM](https://www.getresponse.com/help/what-is-dkim-and-how-do-i-configure-it.html) and [DMARC](https://www.getresponse.com/help/what-is-dmarc.html) articles.

To add your own DKIM key, make sure you have:

*   Your own domain.
*   Access to the DNS administration panel.
*   A DKIM key provided by GetResponse.

Getting DKIM key
----------------

1.  In the GetResponse Dashboard, click [**Profile >> Emails and Domains**](https://app.getresponse.com/email-addresses).
2.  Go to **Email addresses** tab and click **Actions menu (3 dots)** next to the domain name you would like to generate the DKIM key for. From available options select **View TXT records**.

3.  (Optional) If you would like to use 2048-bit DKIM key – move the slider beside **Generate a 2048-bit DKIM key for stronger protection** and confirm that.
