Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:
  1. A SendKit account with a domain added
  2. Access to your Dynadot account
  3. Your domain’s DNS records from the SendKit domain detail page

Add DNS records

Log in to Dynadot, go to My Domains > Manage Domains, click your domain, then select DNS Settings. Make sure DNS is set to Dynadot DNS and add each of the following records.

1. DKIM record

1

Add a new record

In the DNS Records section, click Add DNS Record and select TXT.
2

Set the subdomain

In the Subdomain field, enter sendkit._domainkey.
3

Set the value

In the Text field, paste the full DKIM value from your SendKit domain detail page.
4

Save

Click Save DNS.

3. MX record

1

Dynadot uses “Distance” instead of “Priority” for MX records. They mean the same thing — set it to 10.

4. DMARC record (optional)

3

Set the value

In the Text field, enter v=DMARC1; p=none;.

Save

Click Save DNS.

Verify your domain

Go back to your SendKit domain detail page and click Refresh. Dynadot DNS changes typically propagate within a few minutes.
If verification doesn’t succeed immediately, wait a few minutes and try again. SendKit also checks automatically in the background.

Troubleshooting

Make sure the DNS type is set to Dynadot DNS (not custom nameservers). If you’re using external nameservers, manage DNS at that provider instead.
Dynadot requires you to click Save DNS after adding each record. Changes won’t take effect until saved.
