Zoho Mail: SPF, DKIM and DMARC

Zoho Mail mailboxes. The SPF include depends on your Zoho data center, and DKIM uses a selector you choose in the admin console.

DNS records to add

TXTHost@
v=spf1 include:zohomail.com -all

SPF for the US data center (use zohomail.eu or zohomail.in for EU or India)

TXTHost<selector>._domainkey
<DKIM value from Zoho Mail Admin Console → Domains → Email Configuration → DKIM>Get this value from your provider's dashboard.

DKIM signing key

TXTHost_dmarc
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:<your report address>Get this value from your provider's dashboard.

DMARC policy and reports

Steps

  1. Check your data center in the Zoho admin console URL (.com, .eu or .in) and use the matching SPF include.
  2. In Admin Console → Domains → your domain → Email Configuration → DKIM, add a selector (for example zmail) and copy the TXT value.
  3. Publish the DKIM record, then click Verify in Zoho and make it the default selector.
  4. Publish a DMARC record at _dmarc starting with p=none.

After publishing, run the domain health check. DNS changes usually appear within minutes, but can take up to a few hours. Official reference: Zoho Mail documentation.
