1. Accessing CWP7 Control Panel

To begin, log in to your CWP7 Control Panel using your credentials. If you don’t have an account yet, you can sign up at our main website www.freespirits.gr.

2. Navigating to Email Authentication Settings

Once logged in, navigate to the “Email” section in the Control Panel’s main menu. From there, select “Email Authentication” to access the authentication settings.

3. Setting up SPF (Sender Policy Framework)

SPF is a widely-used email authentication method that helps prevent email forgery. To set up SPF, follow these steps:

1. Click on the “Add SPF Record” button.
2. Enter your domain name in the designated field.
3. Add the authorized sending IP addresses or ranges for your domain.
4. Save the changes.

4. Configuring DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail)

DKIM adds a digital signature to outgoing emails, allowing the recipient’s server to verify the message’s authenticity. To configure DKIM, proceed as follows:

1. Click on the “DKIM” tab within the Email Authentication settings.
2. Generate DKIM keys by clicking on the “Generate New Key” button.
3. Copy the generated DKIM records to your domain’s DNS records.
4. Save the changes.

5. Enabling DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance)

DMARC enhances email authentication by specifying how ISPs should handle unauthenticated emails sent from your domain. Here’s how to enable DMARC:

1. Go to the “DMARC” tab in the Email Authentication settings.
2. Click on the “Enable DMARC” button.
3. Define the desired policy for unauthenticated messages (e.g., quarantine or reject).
4. Save the changes.

6. Implementing SMTP Authentication

SMTP authentication adds an extra layer of security to your outgoing email. To implement SMTP authentication:

1. Access the “SMTP Auth” tab within the Email Authentication settings.
