To send emails with toSend, you need to verify ownership of your domain by adding DNS records.
Adding a Domain
- Go to Domains in your dashboard
- Click Add Domain
- Enter your domain name (e.g.,
yourdomain.com)
DNS Records
After adding a domain, you’ll need to configure three DNS records with your DNS provider.
The names below are for a root domain such as yourdomain.com. For a subdomain such as mail.yourdomain.com, the subdomain is added to each name (tosend._domainkey.mail, send.mail). Your dashboard always shows the exact names for your domain.
DKIM Record
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) verifies that emails are authorized by the domain owner.
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | Copy from your dashboard |
SPF Record
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) authorizes toSend to send emails on behalf of your domain.
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| TXT |
MX Record
The MX record enables bounce and complaint handling.
| Type | Name | Priority | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX | 10 |
If your team sends from the EU region, the value is feedback-smtp.eu-central-1.amazonses.com instead. Copy the exact value from your dashboard.
DMARC Record (Recommended)
DMARC protects your domain from email spoofing and improves deliverability. Add this after DKIM and SPF are verified.
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| TXT |
Verification Status
After adding DNS records, your domain will go through these statuses:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | Waiting for all three DNS records to appear. We check every 10 minutes and start verification automatically once they are all in place, or you can click Verify DNS Records. |
| Pending | All records were found and verification is in progress. This usually completes within a few minutes. |
| Verified | Domain is ready to send emails. |
If verification does not complete, the domain goes back to Draft and we email you so you can check your records and try again.
Sending DNS Instructions
You can email the DNS configuration instructions to your domain administrator while the domain is not yet verified:
- Go to Domains → select your domain
- Click Forward Instructions
- Enter the recipient email address
This is limited to 3 emails per domain per day.
Deleting a Domain
To remove a domain:
- Go to Domains → select your domain
- Open the menu next to the domain name and click Delete Domain
- Confirm, then type the domain name to confirm the deletion
After deleting a verified domain, remove its toSend DNS records from your DNS provider.

The Domains list shows for each domain:
