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 Namecheap 1. Log in to your [Namecheap account](https://ap.www.namecheap.com). 2. Click `Manage` for the domain. ![Domain Details](https://mintcdn.com/resend/svdlrksWLy8Dr3X-/images/dashboard-domains-namecheap-manage.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=svdlrksWLy8Dr3X-\&q=85\&s=cb8698fd0e0cab38eb335766a9d0b7d8) > [!NOTE] > > You may need to expand a dropdown to see the `Manage` button. 3. Go to the `Advanced DNS` page for the domain you want to verify. ![Domain Details](https://mintcdn.com/resend/svdlrksWLy8Dr3X-/images/dashboard-domains-namecheap-advanced-dns.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=svdlrksWLy8Dr3X-\&q=85\&s=b958e136050178c70eb4820e703803c6) ## Add MX SPF Record > [!WARNING] > > If you are changing the MX configuration from `Gmail` to `Custom MX`, you need > to [setup new MX records for > Gmail](https://support.google.com/a/answer/174125). If you don't setup new > records, receiving mail in your gmail inboxes will stop. Under the `Mail Settings` section, click the dropdown and select `Custom MX`: 1. Type `send` for the `Host` of the record. 2. Copy the MX Value from Resend into the `Value` field. 3. Use the `Automatic` TTL. 4. Select `Save all changes`. ![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-namecheap-spf-mx.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2\&q=85\&s=dda5ff041cce1341e22123fd70111ef3) Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Namecheap: | Namecheap | Resend | Example Value | | - | - | - | | Type | Type | `MX Record` | | Host | Name | `send` | | TTL | TTL | `Automatic` | | Value | Content | `feedback-smtp.us-east-1.amazonses.com` | | - | Priority | `10` | > [!NOTE] > > Omit your domain from the record values in Resend when you paste.

It is the empty column after > `Value`. Do not use the same priority for multiple records. If Priority `10` > is already in use, try a higher value `20` or `30`. ## Add TXT SPF Record Under the `Host Records` section, click `Add New Record`: 1. Set the `Type` to `TXT Record`. 2. Enter `send` into the `Host` field. 3. Copy the TXT Value from Resend into the `Value` field. 4. Use the `Automatic` TTL. 5. Select `Save all changes`. ![Domain Details](https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-resend-spf-txt.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2\&q=85\&s=747425d0a224baeee2846c9a707d5bbc) ![Domain Details](https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-namecheap-spf-txt.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2\&q=85\&s=b742409a1de5a3291dc64e1846c2cf77) Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Namecheap: | Namecheap | Resend | Example Value | | - | - | - | | Type | Type | `TXT Record` | | Host | Name | `send` | | TTL | TTL | `Automatic` | | Value | Content | `"v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all"` | > [!NOTE] > > Omit your domain from the record values in Resend when you paste.

Set the `Type` to `TXT Record`. 2. Enter `resend._domainkey` into the `Host` field. 3. Copy the TXT Value from Resend into the `Value` field. 4. Use the `Automatic` TTL. 5.

Instead of > `resend._domainkey.example.com`, paste only `resend._domainkey` (or > `resend._domainkey.subdomain` if you're using a subdomain). ## Receiving Emails If you want to receive emails at your domain, toggle the "Receiving" switch on the domain details page. ![Enable Receiving Emails for a verified domain](https://mintcdn.com/resend/B7wTVm7aKL5pNT-6/images/inbound-domain-toggle.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=B7wTVm7aKL5pNT-6\&q=85\&s=46f6b4c142fb90e04b57861e338ed2d0) > [!WARNING] > > When you enable Inbound on a domain, Resend receives *all emails* sent to that > specific domain depending on the priority of the MX record. 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`. Under the `Mail Settings` section, click the dropdown and select `Custom MX`: 1. Type `inbound` (or whatever your subdomain is) for the `Host` of the record. 2. Copy the MX Value from Resend into the `Value` field. 3. Use the `Automatic` TTL. 4. Select `Save all changes`. Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Namecheap: | Namecheap | Resend | Example Value | | - | - | - | | Type | Type | `MX Record` | | Host | Name | `inbound` | | TTL | TTL | `Automatic` | | Value | Content | `inbound-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com` | | - | 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 up to 72 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 Namecheap 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).
