Your domain's DNS tells the rest of the internet where to deliver your mail and how to check mail that claims to be from you. Business email needs these records; the Email tab lists them with their status.
| Record | Name | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX | @ |
10 mail-api.ngdomain.ng |
Delivers incoming mail to your mailboxes |
| TXT (SPF) | @ |
v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all |
Says which servers may send as your domain |
| CNAME (DKIM) ×3 | <token>._domainkey |
<token>.dkim.amazonses.com |
Publishes the keys your outgoing mail is signed with |
| MX | bounce |
10 feedback-smtp.us-east-1.amazonses.com |
Handles bounces for your outgoing mail |
| TXT | bounce |
v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all |
Lets the bounce address pass SPF too |
| TXT (DMARC) | _dmarc |
v=DMARC1; p=none |
Tells other providers what to do with mail that fails the checks |
| CNAME | autoconfig, autodiscover |
mail-api.ngdomain.ng |
Optional: helps mail apps set themselves up |
| SRV | _imaps._tcp, _submissions._tcp |
mail-api.ngdomain.ng |
Optional: the same, for other apps |
The DKIM tokens are unique to your domain; copy them from the Email tab.
Things to know
- A domain can have only one SPF record. If you already send mail through another service, add
include:amazonses.comto that record instead of creating a second one. Fix DNS does this for you. - Remove MX records from a previous provider. While they remain, some mail goes there instead.
- Start DMARC at
p=none. Once all your mail passes, you can move toquarantineorreject.
