- Symptom
- Your sending domain stays unverified even after you added the DNS records.
- Likely cause
- Records were added to the wrong host, duplicated, altered by the DNS provider, or have not propagated yet.
Applies to: Dedicated sending domains, DNS providers
How to fix it
Compare host names
Some DNS providers append your domain automatically. Enter only the host portion if your provider does that.
Remove duplicate SPF records
A domain can only have one SPF record. Merge entries into a single record.
Wait and re-verify
DNS changes can take time to propagate. Wait, then click verify again.
FAQ
How long does DNS propagation take?
Often minutes, sometimes up to 48 hours depending on the provider and record TTL.
Will this affect my regular inbox?
Not if you use a subdomain for sending and keep your existing mail records intact.
