Add MailBlastr DNS records on Cloudflare

This guide walks through adding the DNS records MailBlastr generates for a domain using the Cloudflare dashboard. Before you start, add your domain in MailBlastr to generate the records — see Managing domains — and keep the DNS records reference open, since the exact values (your DKIM record and your region) come from there.

Cloudflare must be your domain’s authoritative DNS (your nameservers point at Cloudflare) for these records to take effect. If your domain only uses Cloudflare as a proxy in front of another DNS host, add the records at the authoritative host instead.

Open the DNS records editor

1. 1
   Select your domain

   Log in at dash.cloudflare.com and click the domain (zone) you want to send mail from.

2. 2
   Go to DNS → Records

   In the left sidebar choose DNS, then Records. This lists every record on the zone and has the Add record button.

3. 3
   Add each record

   Click Add record once per entry below. Choose the Type, fill in Name and the target, and save. Repeat for all six records.

DKIM — TXT

Add one TXT record holding your domain’s DKIM public key. In Cloudflare’s Name field you can enter the full host or just the part before your domain — Cloudflare appends the zone automatically and displays the full name.

SPF — MX + TXT on send.yourdomain.com

MailBlastr uses a custom MAIL FROM subdomain, send.yourdomain.com, which needs both an MX and a TXT record. In the Name field enter send — Cloudflare appends the zone. MX and TXT records cannot be proxied, so there is no cloud toggle on these rows.

DMARC — TXT on _dmarc.yourdomain.com

Cloudflare’s edge DNS usually propagates within a minute or two. Once all six records are in, return to MailBlastr and re-verify the domain.
