ENOM DNS configuration 

If your domain is hosted with ENOM, you can follow the below steps to configure SPF, DKIM, and CNAME records for ZeptoMail. It may take 24-48 hours for the records to be published in the DNS. So your domain will not be verified until that time and you will not be able to send any emails using your domain.
