Authenticating Your Domain In Mailjet

Introduction

To verify ownership of the domain used for outgoing messages, you must authenticate your domain within your Mailjet account. This step is required before setting up the Mailjet Integration in Gravity SMTP.

Adding DNS Records

Once you add your domain, Mailjet will offer two validation methods. The first option involves hosting a temporary file on your website by creating an empty file with the specified filename and uploading it to your site’s root directory.

The recommended method is to create a DNS record. This requires accessing your domain’s DNS settings and adding a new TXT record. Mailjet will provide the hostname and value needed for this record.

For more information and related articles, refer to Mailjet‘s official documentation.

CNAME (Canonical Name) records map an alias name to a true or canonical domain name. They’re used to link a subdomain to another domain name, allowing requests made to the alias to be routed to the correct server or site.

  1. Create a new TXT record with the values provided.
  2. Once the DNS record has been created, click the Validate my domain button.

How do I know the domain is verified and working?

It will show as Verified under Status on your Verified Senders page.
