One of the most important things to reach the best results is, to send your campaigns with valid and existing sending domains. Most of campaigns which are sent with non existing emails will never reach  the recipient. By verifying your Sending Domain you have the permission, to send mails from our servers and IPs. So we highly recommend our users to add the SPF and DKIM records for your domain. 

Let´s see, where you can find the required details to add SPF and DKIM (=DomainKeys Identified Mail) for verifiying your sending domains:

1. Log in to your account at www.mailflatrate.com and go to "Domains -> Sending domains".
2. Click on "Create new domain" and paste your domain like example.com (not your email!).
3. After saving you will find the SPF and DKIM details for your sending domain.
