Creating a sending domain

So you can start sending emails, you need to create and verify a sending domain.

You can create any sending domain you want, for example:

• example.com
• mail.example.com

Do not use http:// or any protocol prefix. Just the domain name.

Adding DNS records

To verify your sending domain, you need to add two DNS records to your domain. Those records are shown on the page after you create a sending domain.

1. Add a TXT record for DKIM verification.
2. Add a CNAME record for SPF verification.
3. Add a MX record for email feedback.
4. (Optional) Add a DMARC record for email authentication.

All these records are setup on a subdomain of the chosen sending domain. For example, if you choose mail.example.com as your sending domain, you need to add the records to emailit.mail.example.com.

This allows you to use the subdomain to send emails, while the root domain is used for verification and you can use it for other purposes.

Checking your records

After you add the records, you need to wait for them to be verified. You can check the verification status on the sending domain page by clicking on the "Check DNS" button. It checks all the records and shows the results. It can take up to 24 hours for the records to be verified.
