Verify Transactional Sending Domains

Transactional sends must use a verified sending domain. Verification proves that your domain authorizes Mailtarget to send and track mail on its behalf.

Steps​

1. Choose a sending subdomain such as mail.example.com or transactional.example.com.
2. Add the domain in Mailtarget.
3. Copy the SPF, DKIM, and tracking-domain records exactly as shown.
4. Publish the records at your DNS provider.
5. If the tracking record is on Cloudflare, set it to DNS only.
6. Wait for DNS propagation.
7. Click Verify in Mailtarget.
8. Send a low-volume test message.

Verify from a terminal​

Use dig to confirm records resolve before escalating.

dig +short TXT <your-sending-domain>
dig +short TXT <selector>._domainkey.<your-sending-domain>
dig +short CNAME <tracking-subdomain>
