How to verify domain for Mailchimp

Posted By hjsimpson

I am trying to verify my domain, but whenever I try to edit the records I get an error.
I have read that this may be caused by using underscores, but I am not sure about it.
Does anyone know how to do this?
These are the instructions provided by Mailchimp:

Authenticate yourdomain.com with MailChimp by modifying your domain's DNS records. These changes allow your campaigns to appear to come from yourdomain.com, instead of from our servers. After you've made the required DNS changes, please wait 24-48 hours for the changes to propagate. Why should I do this?

DKIM: Create a CNAME record for k1._domainkey.yourdomain.com with this value:
dkim.mcsv.net
SPF: Create a TXT record for yourdomain.com with:
v=spf1 include:servers.mcsv.net ?all

Sorry for the delayed response, if your domain is now set to parking or using our DNS, you can follow the steps below:

Sign in to your Dynadot account.
Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and then "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
Check the box next to your domain name(s) and click on the "Bulk Action" button.
Choose "DNS Settings" from the "Bulk Action" list.
On the DNS page, select the "Custom DNS" setting from the top drop-down menu.
Under the "Domain Record" section, select "TXT" from the drop-down.
Specify your TXT record "v=spf1 include:servers.mcsv.net ?all" in the "IP Address or Target Host" box.
Under the "Subdomain Record (optional)" field, enter "k1._domainkey" as the subdomain, select "CNAME" as the record type and enter the CNAME record "dkim.mcsv.net"
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the "Save DNS" button to save your changes.
