Email Sending Configuration
To enable sending emails through the Hausing platform using your company domain, please add the following DNS records. These records ensure that emails sent on your behalf are properly authenticated and delivered to recipients.
Required DNS Records
Section titled “Required DNS Records”You need to add 5 DNS records in total. Replace yourdomain.ee with your actual domain.
1. DKIM Records (3x CNAME)
Section titled “1. DKIM Records (3x CNAME)”These will be provided to you by Hausing — they are unique per domain. You will receive three records in this format:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | <token1>._domainkey.yourdomain.ee | <token1>.dkim.amazonses.com |
| CNAME | <token2>._domainkey.yourdomain.ee | <token2>.dkim.amazonses.com |
| CNAME | <token3>._domainkey.yourdomain.ee | <token3>.dkim.amazonses.com |
2. Custom MAIL FROM Records (MX + TXT)
Section titled “2. Custom MAIL FROM Records (MX + TXT)”These are the same for all clients:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| MX | hausing.yourdomain.ee | 10 feedback-smtp.eu-north-1.amazonses.com |
| TXT | hausing.yourdomain.ee | "v=spf1 include:amazonses.com -all" |
Verification
Section titled “Verification”After adding all 5 records, please notify us so we can verify the configuration on our side. DNS propagation may take up to 48 hours, but typically completes within a few hours.
Why Are These Records Needed?
Section titled “Why Are These Records Needed?”- DKIM records prove that emails have not been tampered with in transit and were authorized by your domain
- MX record directs bounce notifications to the correct mail server
- SPF record authorizes our email infrastructure to send emails on behalf of your domain
Without these records, emails sent from your domain through our platform may be rejected or marked as spam by recipients.
Recommended: DMARC Policy
Section titled “Recommended: DMARC Policy”We also recommend setting up a DMARC record for your domain if you don’t have one already. DMARC protects your domain from being spoofed by unauthorized senders, which helps preserve your domain’s email reputation.
Add the following DNS record:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | _dmarc.yourdomain.ee | "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.ee" |
Replace dmarc@yourdomain.ee with an email address where you’d like to receive DMARC aggregate reports. These reports help you monitor if anyone is attempting to send unauthorized emails using your domain.
