7. From Name - This is the name that will display in the user's email client when they receive an email from you. 
8. From Email - This is the business email address that your emails will be sent from. It will also be the address that users respond to if they click "Reply" in their email client.

Step 2: Add (4) DNS records in your Host (Cloudflare) To Validate Your DNS Records

Important Note: When you copy the host records, be sure to not include your domain name in the records, as the screenshot below shows.

1. Copy the records from the next screen/or keep them handy as you will need to add them into your DNS Zone Editor.

2. Add the records into your DNS Zone Editor. When you are finished, it should look like so:

Important Note: Please note that it may take some time for your records to propagate and for ClickFunnels to verify them. Please keep in mind that it may take up to 48 hours for these records to propagate.

Spam Policies

We regularly monitor our customers' accounts for abuse and undesirable sending practices. Our general guidelines for Clickfunnels SMTP sending take into account the following factors:

• The ratio of requests that are delivered to the total amount requested.
• Bounces, invalid emails, and drops.
• Spam Reports
• Clickfunnels divides our senders into 3 sending pools based on the quality of your email sends and our Spam Policy.
• Should you receive too many spam reports, bounces, or drops, you will be placed in the "low pool." Anyone in this pool will be notified, and your email sending will be restricted to contacts on your list who've interacted with you in the last 30 days.
• If you receive this notification, the best way to restore your sending reputation to send to these existing contacts who have interacted in the last 30 days, in your SMTP Settings, you will see the bar next to your SMTP turn green as your sending rep restores.
• If your email sending policies continue to be an issue, you will be blocked from sending via click funnels SMTP. This protects us all.
• If you are blocked, you can continue to use Clickfunnels with Actionetics MD, but you will be responsible for integrating with a third-party SMTP provider.
• Should you be blocked in error, please contact Clickfunnels support to investigate further.
