Editing Domains and domain alignment (section)

== FAQ ==
=== 1. What is domain alignment? ===
Domain alignment refers to the practice of ensuring that the domains used in the From address, Return Path, and DKIM signature of your emails are the same or related to pass DMARC checks.

=== 2. How do I set up a custom Return Path domain? ===
You can set up a custom Return Path domain by creating a CNAME record that points to ActiveCampaign during the sending domain configuration process.

=== 3. Why is DKIM important? ===
DKIM adds a layer of security and verification by cryptographically signing your emails, which helps prevent them from being flagged as spam.

=== 4. Can I use a subdomain for my Return Path? ===
Yes, you can use a subdomain for your Return Path as long as it aligns with the root domain of your email address.

=== 5. What happens if my domains don’t align? ===
If your domains do not align, you may experience lower deliverability, and your emails could be flagged as spam. It is crucial to align at least one domain (DKIM or Return Path) with your From address.

=== 6. How do I check if my domains are aligned? ===
You can use tools like Google Postmaster Tools to see your email reputation and verify the alignment status of your domains.

=== 7. Are there any specific benefits to aligning domains? ===
Yes, aligning domains enhances your domain reputation, helps emails pass DMARC checks, and improves overall email deliverability.
