How to send my email from my own domain and what are the DNS records for. A step-by-step walkthrough of the screens, buttons and fields involved.
The steps, written out
- Open Email setup and go to My own domain through Arkon One.
- Enter Your domain (for example yourbusiness.com) and Send emails from this address (for example invoices@yourbusiness.com), then press Add domain.
- The page shows the records to add. Open the website where you manage your domain (the DNS settings; usually where you bought the domain) and add each record exactly as shown. If you are not sure how, send the page to whoever looks after your website or domain.
- Press Check verification. Arkon One also checks by itself every night. When the domain shows Verified, press Send test email. After the test works, your emails are sent from your domain.
Tip
The records explained: Three CNAME records (required) let Arkon One sign your emails with your domain (DKIM). They prove the emails really come from your company. One SPF record (recommended) says which service may send email for your domain. If your domain already has an SPF record, add include:amazonses.com to it instead of creating a second one. One DMARC record (recommended) tells receiving mail systems what to do with emails that fail the checks. The suggested value only asks for reports and blocks nothing.
