"Some" questions about sending domains

In the knowledge base, I can read that "You should use sending domains only if your delivery servers do not sign your emails with DKIM" and when I send an email from my SMTP(s) I see well a DKIM signature in the mail's source. So, why do I need to add sending domain, though?


When I create a campaign with a FROM email using this delivery server, a warning asks me to verify my sending domain to be able to send this campaign (so, a blocking point)... Then, adding this domain as sending domain, it offers me three new records about DKIM, SPF and DMARC, while there are ones already for this domain. Isn't it not recommended having multiple DKIM, SPF and DMARC records on the same domain?

However, if I click "Verify DNS records" with the existing records, MailWizz report me, "Unable to find proper TXT record for your domain name" ; maybe because the DKIM selector is "x" and not "mailer" (the selector I can see in the MailWizz's generated DKIM)... What do you think?

Also, and this will be the last question (phew): in the generated SPF record, I can see all the domains of all the delivery servers I configured in MailWizz and the domain where MailWizz seats (something like below). Is it the expected behavior? Why register all these domains in this record?

Oh! and why I can see my local IP (I'm reaching MailWizz on its public URL, but being on the same LAN as the server hosting MailWizz, I guess it takes a shortcut), it makes no sense to register this in the SPF record of the delivery's domain, no?

Example:
Code:
delivery-one.tld. IN TXT  "v=spf1 mx a:smtp.delivery-one.tld a:smtp.delivery-two.tld a:mailwizz-domain.tld ip4:192.168.1.34 ~all"

Waiting for your enlightenment °O°

EDIT : OK, bypassed the campaign warning disabling Backend/Customers/Groups/Update Customer Groups/Campaigns/Verify Sending Domain. The other questions are still relevant, of course...

Hello,
You don't have to use any sending domain in that case. Just remove the sending domain that you created and the warning will dissapear.
