Domains

Why a verified domain is the one thing you cannot skip.

No shared sending domain

Veltic Send will never let you send from a domain you have not proven you control. A shared sender would mean one careless customer damages delivery for everyone, and there is no way to undo that once mailbox providers have decided.

The records

Three CNAMEs sign your mail with DKIM. An MX and a TXT record on a bounce subdomain give you an aligned envelope sender, so bounces come back to you rather than to Amazon. A DMARC record is recommended and starts at p=none so you can read the reports before tightening anything.

  • CNAME × 3 — DKIM signing
  • MX on bounce.yourdomain — custom MAIL FROM
  • TXT on bounce.yourdomain — SPF for the envelope
  • TXT on _dmarc.yourdomain — start at p=none

Waiting for DNS

Verification usually completes within fifteen minutes and occasionally takes a day. The dashboard re-reads the status from Amazon when you press the button; it does not poll, because Amazon throttles management calls to one per second.
