Please read the community guide. Community guides are written by people that specifically say how to combine the services with InfinityFree hosting. So if youâre wondering if/how something can be used with InfintiyFree: read the guide, it tells you exactly that.
You can use the SPF Records feature for this.

Thanks for helping me out and i verified my subdomain successfully on zoho mail and
now i have a problem when i have to configure DKIM in txt record im pasting that DKIM value in Spf record but when i click on add an error message comes as "Illegal characters in record part DKIM Value so how can i add that value in spf for DKIM confg
You cannot set up DKIM records with InfinityFree DNS. It only allows MX and SPF records.
Unless you manage your own DNS somewhere else (besides InfinityFree) you wonât be able to do it.
I switched all my stuff over to ImprovMX using Gmail and itâs working great.

Iâm telling you â it canât be done. Iâve tried it 10 different ways. So have other people. You canât set up DKIM records on InfinityFree DNS. Itâs just that simple. It doesnât matter what characters you type. You canât create a valid DKIM record:
âUnlike most DNS TXT records, DKIM records are stored under a specialized name, not just the name of the domain. DKIM record names follow this format:â
[selector]._domainkey.[domain]
This is the part that you canât set up.

I Have problem arising in setting DKIM Value/destination as v=: k=***** :p=***
so do you have any tip to add DKIM successfully for this part
It cannot be done for free subdomain

The answer is: you canât set up valid DKIM records
It doesnât matter what the values are. The problem is that your host is listed as âcathat.free.nfâ not âcathat._domainkey.free.nfâ. You cannot change this value. Thus, you canât set up a valid DKIM record in DNS. You cannot use the default âhostâ value for DKIM record the way you do for other TXT records. The host values for DKIM records are in a very specific format which you cannot do with InfinityFree DNS.

Other services allow you to add DKIM records to your DNS.
InfinityFree does not.
Unless you can add a TXT record with the host listed as "cathat._domainkey.free.nfâ then it will not work.
Your options are:
- Use another email forwarding service like ImprovMX
- Use different DNS servers like CloudFlare (only works on custom domain)
- Upgrade to Premium hosting and then you can have more control over your DNS settings
Also:
You can just ignore the DKIM warning in Zoho. As long as you have MX and SPF records set up you can send / receive email. They will keep bugging you about setting up DKIM but you can ignore it. The problem with this is that some domains will block your emails because you donât have DKIM set up (e.g. Hotmail). But, I was able to send / receive email without DKIM records through Zoho. I just think that ImprovMX is a much better solution now.
Thanks for your amazing info and with everyones help i was able to create business email on Improvmx and my email is running smoothly but only problem is messages get delivered late in our gmail and on other hand im still trying to create business email with zoho
can you please tell me details about your business email i mean with which service provider you are connected zoho or improvmx or other and also is your domain a subdomain or custom domain

Hi. I switched to ImprovMX using this guide and it works with my free subdomain. My email is [email protected] and it forwards to my Gmail account.
I have also set up an alias in Gmail so when I compose a new message I can select who the âFromâ email is. My choices are either my Gmail address or my fresh.infinityfreeapp.com address.
But all sending and receiving is done via Gmail.
The InfinityFree account I am using is a free subdomain but it is the only one on my InfinityFree account (e.g. itâs not another subdomain of my free account).

So whose email services are best Zoho or Improvmx in terms of sending and receiving emails and not go into recipent spam folder etc based on your experience
When I used Zoho a lot of my messages were blocked because of the DKIM thing. I would have to say that ImprovMX is the way to go.
