Mailbox providers trust mail that proves it really comes from you. Verifying a domain does exactly that.
Add the domain
Go to Settings → Sending domains, enter the domain you send from (for example yourbrand.com or a subdomain like mail.yourbrand.com) and save. We generate the DNS records for it.
Publish the records
Copy each record into your DNS provider:
| Record | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| SPF (TXT) | Lists the servers allowed to send for your domain |
| DKIM (TXT or CNAME) | Signs every email so receivers can check it was not altered |
| Return-path (CNAME) | Handles bounces on your own domain |
| DMARC (TXT) | Tells receivers what to do with mail that fails the checks |
DNS changes can take from a few minutes to a few hours to appear. Press Check to verify; we also re-check every hour.
Tips
- A subdomain such as
mail.yourbrand.comkeeps marketing reputation separate from your company mail. - Start with
p=nonein DMARC, watch the reports, then move toquarantine. - New domains build reputation over time. Send to your most engaged contacts first and grow volume gradually.
