Domains

Domains are used to send emails from your own domain. To send emails using Emailit, you need to create a domain and add DNS records to your domain.

In Emailit, you can create multiple domains in any format, including subdomains.

Examples of valid domains:

• example.com
• subdomain.example.com
• subdomain.subdomain.example.com

Creating a domain

To create a domain in Emailit, you can do it using the dashboard or the API.

Using the dashboard

1. Go to the Emailit dashboard.
2. Click on the Domains tab.
3. Click on the Add Domain button.
4. Fill in the required information and click on the Add button.

Using the API

You can create a domain using the API by sending a POST request to the /domains endpoint.

To send emails using your domain, you need to add DNS records to your domain. Those records are shown on the page after you create a domain.

In your DNS provider

1. Add a TXT record for DKIM verification.
2. Add a TXT 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 domain. For example, if you choose mail.example.com as your 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 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.
