- In the Name field, enter the Hostname value you see for DKIM in your domainās DNS Settings page in Postmark. It will be in the format of 2020040212345pm._domainkey. Then, in the Text Value field, enter the TXT value for the DKIM record from your DNS Settings page in Postmark. Click Create.
- To finish verifying the CNAME and DKIM records, click on the Verify button in the Postmark DNS Settings page next to the DKIM and Return-Path records.
If everything is propagated (which can take up to 48 hours for new DNS records) and working, you will see a green checkmark on your Sender Signatures page showing that the domain has been verified. You can now also send from any email address on that domain.
