TXT record limit — can I combine SPF and DKIM in one record?

#47 Resolved
Elizabeth H. 348 days ago

My DNS provider is telling me I can only have one TXT record per hostname. Do SPF and DKIM need to be combined into one record then?

Betty Nguyen Staff 348 days ago

They actually go on different hostnames, so this shouldn't conflict: SPF goes on your root domain (e.g. yourdomain.com), while DKIM goes on a subdomain specific to the selector (e.g. default._domainkey.yourdomain.com). Since they're different hostnames, the “one TXT record per hostname” rule your provider mentioned doesn't actually force them together — that rule only applies if you're trying to add two SPF-type records on the same hostname, which you shouldn't do anyway (multiple SPF records on one hostname is invalid and causes failures).
