Domains & DNS
To leave the test sender, verify a sending domain.
Steps
- In the app, open Domains and add the hostname
- Choose the SES region (defaults to
sa-east-1) - Publish SPF/DKIM / MAIL FROM records exactly as shown for that region
- Wait for verification (minutes to a few hours)
- Send with
fromon that domain
Best practices
- Prefer a dedicated subdomain (
mail.yourdomain.com) when possible - Avoid conflicting SPF policies
- MAIL FROM is region-specific (e.g.
bouncevsbounce-us) so MX records do not collide — see Regions - Watch bounce/complaint rates — accounts can auto-pause
