Add a domain
Verify a domain so you can send from it.
You can only send from domains you've verified. Verification proves you own the domain and sets up the records inbox providers use to trust your mail.
Steps
- Open Domains and click + Add domain.
- Enter the domain. We recommend a subdomain such as
updates.yourdomain.comso your sending reputation is separate from your main mailbox. - Copy each DNS record shown into your DNS provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, Route 53…).
- Click Verify DNS records. Most providers update within minutes; some take up to 72 hours.
The records
| Record | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| DKIM | CNAME / TXT | Signs your emails so they can't be forged |
| Return-Path (SPF) | CNAME / MX + TXT | Handles bounces and authorises our servers |
| DMARC | TXT | Tells inboxes what to do with unauthenticated mail |
Cloudflare users: set the records to DNS only (grey cloud). Proxied records can't be verified.
Troubleshooting
- Still pending after an hour? Check you didn't add your domain twice (e.g.
send.example.com.example.com). Some providers add the domain for you, so enter only the part shown in Name. - Failed? Delete the record, add it again and click Verify.
