Recognize that if you are sending from an email service that previously was set up to receive emails from the domain, it is possible that the email service may still be delivering the messages locally, disregarding MX records. |

Bill, the following is what I wrote to ZoneEdit support:
"I use ZoneEdit for DNS hosting for the domain foo.net. When I send email messages to a Gmail address, Gmail discards (does not deliver) my email messages that have the return address <abc@foo.net>. Gmail apparently thinks that messages with that return address are spam and apparently requires DKIM on those email messages for it to deliver the messages. "Can ZoneEdit add the proper DKIM (and SPF) information to my email messages with the return address <abc@foo.net>? That is, can ZoneEdit show that I have the authority to send messages with that return address?" Here is the reply from ZoneEdit support: "I would recommend looking up what information is required for the SPF and DKIM record via Google. You can then add the proper DKIM / SPF record as per whatever Gmail instructs. The SPF/DKIM record will be put into the TXT Record section in your Zoneedit DNS Settings page." My question to you, Bill, is, "Where in Google (Gmail) would I find the DKIM/SPF information I would need to put on my ZoneEdit settings page?" Thank you.

Setting up domains with FM with non-FM DNS hosting
If you are not taking my advice (by letting Fastmail host your DNS records after setting your domain NS to point to Fastmail), you need to follow the Fastmail help directions:
https://www.fastmail.com/help/receiv...up-nonsmx.html That page shows how to set up SPF and DKIM for a domain you wish to use with Fastmail with the DNS records hosted elsewhere.

I am starting all over this is what i have done
my domain To allow FastMail to host the email for your domain, you need to set the correct DNS records with your registrar. We recommend you set the name servers to: ns1.messagingengine.com ns2.messagingengine.com We will host the DNS for your domain and make sure all the correct entries are set for your email. You can also fully customize your DNS records should you need it. I have created Alias's Now if FM instructions are correct I should be in busines without doing any more |

Bill and somdcomputerguy, thank you both for replying.
I want to send emails with the return address <abc@foo.net> not just from FastMail, but from several other email services, too. Furthermore,I want to send emails with the return address <abc@foo.net> not only to Gmail, but also to other email services that require a DKIM record. Frankly, I am stumped. Therefore, if anyone in this forum could tell me the proper DKIM record I should put into the TXT Record section on my ZoneEdit settings page, I would appreciate it.

If sending from mail services that do not support external SMTP servers, your SPF and DKIM settings need to combine those used in the simpler case where you only send using a single email service's servers. It is beyond the scope of a forum like this to teach you how to do it. You need to find a good tutorial. |

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC details
Here are a few more comments which might be useful.
The DKIM, SPF, and DMARC mechanisms are being forced on us because if we own <abc@foo.net> we don't want anyone else spoofing us and impersonating us. The key concepts are:

You mentioned earlier that, besides sending email from FastMail, you also want to send from other mail services. Although you should mostly be able to do this with FastMail's default SPF and DKIM settings, these suggest FastMail's servers alone are preferred for sending, and might cause some mail from other servers to be treated as spam by the recipients. The problem is not certain, but you may need to, at least, update the SPF settings in the future if sending from other mail services without using FastMail's SMTP servers.
