How do I set up a custom sender email in Feedio?
Step #1:
Log into your Feedio account and click on "Email Settings" from the drop down in the top right hand corner.
In the email settings page click on "New Post Emails" and then enter in a custom email in the sender email field. Click on update to save your changes.
Step #2:
In order for Feedio to send emails with your custom sender email you need to grant permission for Feedio's email gateway, Mandrill to use your domain.
The instructions below should be forwarded to your network, IT or DevOps admin who can make the necessary additions to your domain's DNS settings.
SPF:
Create a new SPF record and set it to: v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com ?all
DKIM:
You'll need to add a TXT record with the name mandrill._domainkey.YOURDOMAIN.COM
Create a new SPF record and set it to: v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com ?all
DKIM:
You'll need to add a TXT record with the name mandrill._domainkey.YOURDOMAIN.COM
Both of them should have this content:
v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCrLHiExVd55zd/IQ/J/mRwSRMAocV/hMB3jXwaHH36d9NaVynQFYV8NaWi69c1veUtRzGt7yAioXqLj7Z4TeEUoOLgrKsn8YnckGs9i3B3tVFB+Ch/4mPhXWiNfNdynHWBcPcbJ8kjEQ2U8y78dHZj1YeRXXVvWob2OaKynO8/lQIDAQAB;
Make sure to switch out YOURDOMAIN.COM with the domain used in the custom sender email you set in step #1. So for example, if you want to send your Feedio emails with editor@technews.com, then YOURDOMAIN.COM should be switched out with technews.com.
