Symptom

Environment

Cause

 Mass E-mails: This is the activation needed when you plan to use a subdomain for the functionalities on the "Sales Campaign" Work Center.

Resolution

Pre-requisites:

Before requesting for activation of Mass Email functionality for your tenant and sub-domain, you need to perform some of the actions from your end which are listed below:

  1. Read the Documentation for Activation of Mass E-Mail:Follow the path given below:- Open BUSINESS CONFIGURATION- Open E-MAIL AND FAX SETTINGS- Select Read Documentation for Activation of Mass E-Mail

    Please read the detailed documentation about the activation of mass e-mail.

  2. Decide the sub-domain which you would like to use as the Sender Address for Mass E-mailing.Note: SAP highly recommends the usage of sub-domains instead of using the company domain.
  3. Create an entry for each sender sub-domain of your DNS with the following structure:

     mailing._domainkey.[ subdomain ].[ domain ].[ tld ]

    In the example below, this would be mailing._domainkey.news.example.com.

    Ex: Best practices for e-mail mass sending processes recommend to create a sub-domain as sender domain and not use your main domain. For example, if your company Example has main domain example.com, create a sub-domain, such as news.example.com. Your sender address will then be, for example, marketing@news.example.com.
  4. Insert the following text record for your sub-domain into your DNS:

    k=rsa;p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCfvgMo245lekN+eHQipbDcEzEzAYtWg3/OAvp66FLqRnF29yG/rUddTjFhA+KgZ5F3kXqK/ksX3N+oVFh150zZRc9HNxbJNdTeb/m+EKMpwjiejL9mb8yuJo36QqEsgz5NohU8jBj10vNhkdnsjhLumO/VJQ/LiU78kOvJsT+EEwIDAQAB;

    Note: In this documentation the public DKIM key is spread over several lines due to its length. If you insert the key to your DNS you must make sure that it has no line breaks.
  5. Test whether the DKIM is added on your DNS, follow below steps:
    1. Go to https://dkimcore.org/tools/ on your browser.
    2. Enter the values in the form that opens up.

    Let’s consider the example we seen above. (mailing._domainkey.news.example.com)

    • Enter ‘mailing’ as your Selector.
    • Enter your sub-domain where you have inserted your DKIM record. Here in our example ‘news.example.com’
    • Click on button ‘Check’
    • Please refer the below screenshot, If the DKIM key is inserted correctly, you would get the below message
