Using a > subdomain allows for proper reputation segmentation based on topics or purpose > (e.g. marketing) and is especially important if receiving emails with Resend. ## Log in to Gandi Log in to your [Gandi account](https://admin.gandi.net/domain/): 1. Choose your Domain from the `Domain` list. 2. Select the `DNS Records` tab to get to the page to manage DNS records. ![Domain Details](https://mintcdn.com/resend/ABWmVTZIHGIFNTFD/images/dashboard-domains-gandi-domains.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=ABWmVTZIHGIFNTFD\&q=85\&s=db72a28a42a006e10ca7617fc004ecb5) ## Add MX SPF Record Select “Add record” on Gandi to copy and paste the values MX from Resend. 1. On the `Type` page, choose `MX`. 2. Use the default TTL of `10800`. 3. Type `send` for the `Name` of the record. 4. Use the default `Priority` of `10`. 5. Copy the MX Value from Resend into the `Hostname` field. 6. Select `Create`. > [!NOTE] > > Gandi requires your MX record to have a trailing period when adding. Resend > will include the trailing period when copying. Removing the period will cause > the verification to fail. ![Domain Details](https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-resend-spf-mx.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2\&q=85\&s=bb0db2dd2809135194cfb62b695225cd) ![Domain Details](https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-gandi-spf-mx.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2\&q=85\&s=41f5e1b53f159b7e8e05f4f1ffa7e5ad) Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Gandi: | Gandi | Resend | Example Value | | - | - | - | | Type | Type | `MX Record` | | Name | Name | `send` | | Hostname | Content | `feedback-smtp.us-east-1.amazonses.com.` | | TTL | - | `10800` | | Priority | Priority | `10` | > [!NOTE] > > Do not use the same priority for multiple records.

For this reason, > we strongly recommend verifying a subdomain (`subdomain.example.com`) instead > of the root domain (`example.com`). Learn more about [avoiding conflicts with > your existing MX > records](/docs/knowledge-base/how-do-i-avoid-conflicting-with-my-mx-records). > [!NOTE] > > Always copy the MX record value shown on your domain's page in Resend. The > values in this guide are examples. Depending on your domain you will see > `receive.forge.rmta.net`, a regional variant such as > `receive-euw1.forge.rmta.net`, or `inbound-smtp..amazonaws.com`. Select “Add record” on Gandi: 1. On the `Type` page, choose `MX`. 2. Use the default TTL of `10800`. 3. Type `inbound` (or whatever your subdomain is) for the `Name` of the record. 4. Use the default `Priority` of `10`. 5. Copy the MX Value from Resend into the `Hostname` field. 6. Select `Create`. Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Gandi: | Gandi | Resend | Example Value | | - | - | - | | Type | Type | `MX Record` | | Name | Name | `inbound` | | Hostname | Content | `inbound-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.` | | TTL | - | `10800` | | Priority | Priority | `10` | After verifying your domain, create a webhook to process incoming emails. For help setting up a webhook, how to access email data and attachments, forward emails, and more, see [our guide on receiving emails with Resend](/docs/dashboard/receiving/introduction). ## Complete Verification Now click [Verify DNS Records](https://resend.com/domains) on your Domain in Resend. It may take a few hours to complete the verification process (often much faster). ## Troubleshooting If your domain is not successfully verified, these are some common troubleshooting methods. > **Resend shows my domain verification failed.** > > Review the records you added to Gandi to rule out copy and paste errors. > **It has been longer than 72 hours and my domain is still Pending.** > > [Review our guide on a domain not verifying](/docs/knowledge-base/what-if-my-domain-is-not-verifying).
