Step 4

Select CNAME Record from the Type drop-down menu.

Note: CNAME and other options are not visible when selecting "Custom DNS" (more here). 

 

Enter the Hostname we recommend into the Host field.
Note: You may only need to add the first part of the recommended hostname and not your full domain name to your DNS records as your provider may automatically add it.

Enter the Value that we advise for your CNAME record. This is found in the "Settings > Sender Domains" section of your SMTP2GO dashboard.

Click on the SAVE ALL CHANGES button.

You can find the "Hostname" and "Value" on the Sending > Verified Senders > Sender domains section of your SMTP2GO Dashboard.

Repeat step 4 for each required CNAME record.

It will take around 30 minutes for the DNS change to become fully propagated.
