GoDaddy: Update domain host settings

When you set up Paubox, you'll need to update your domain host settings to ensure your emails are properly delivered. 

A TXT/ SPF record is a DNS record used for email authentication. It ensures that only approved senders can deliver emails on behalf of your domain. It also helps prevent spoofing. Adding Paubox to the TXT/ SPF record will give Paubox permission to send on your behalf.  

Instructions to update GoDaddy settings

1. Navigate to https://account.godaddy.com/products 
2. Click on My Account, then select Domains
3. Click on the domain you’re connecting to Paubox
4. Select the DNS tab in the top menu
5. Under DNS Records, check if you have an existing record that is Type: TXT. If you already have a TXT record, follow the instructions to update that record. If you do not have a TXT record, follow the instructions to create a new record.
