GoDaddy
This guide adds the DNS records from Adding and verifying a domain at GoDaddy.
Records to create
Section titled “Records to create”Take the exact values from the records array of your domain (dashboard, API or spacepost domains doctor acme.com). The shape is always:
| Type | Name | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | <token1>._domainkey |
<token1>.dkim.amazonses.com |
Three CNAMEs, one per token |
| MX | send |
feedback-smtp.eu-central-1.amazonses.com |
Priority 10 |
| TXT | send |
v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all |
Return-path SPF |
| TXT | _dmarc |
v=DMARC1; p=none; |
Recommended |
- In GoDaddy open My Products, then DNS next to your domain.
- In DNS Records click Add New Record.
- Name: enter the relative name (
a1b2c3d4e5f6._domainkey,send,_dmarc). GoDaddy appends the domain.@means the root. - CNAME: Data is the target value. TTL 1 hour is fine.
- MX: Priority
10, Data isfeedback-smtp.eu-central-1.amazonses.com. - TXT: Value without quotes.
- Save.
GoDaddy sometimes rejects the DKIM CNAME if a record with the same name exists. Delete the conflicting record first.
If the domain uses GoDaddy’s Microsoft 365 email, do not touch the root MX or SPF records; the send subdomain records live next to them.
After saving, run spacepost domains doctor acme.com or call POST /domains/{id}/verify. If it does not verify, see Troubleshooting.
