Manual DNS setup

Prerequisites

✓

Go to Domains → select the domain. Keep this tab open — you will copy each row.

✓

Use Open DNS settings in Reloop if shown, or jump to the matching provider guide.

✓

For every required row in Reloop:

Choose the same type (TXT, MX, CNAME)
Set name/host as shown (@, reloop._domainkey, _dmarc, link or link.<sub>, …)
Paste value exactly
For MX, set priority (often 10) — include both Sending MX (reloop.sh) and Receiving MX (inbound.reloop.sh) when those rows appear
Save

Provider UIs differ:

Some want blank host instead of @
Some auto-append your domain — do not enter reloop._domainkey.acme.com if the UI already adds acme.com
Cloudflare: keep records DNS only (grey cloud) unless you know you need a proxy (almost never for mail TXT/MX)

✓

If an SPF TXT already exists, merge include:reloop.sh into it. Do not create a second SPF. See SPF conflicts.

✓

Return to Reloop → Verify & finish (setup) or Verify Domain (detail). Allow time for propagation if checks fail immediately.

Edited the DNS host that matches your NS records (not only the registrar invoice)
DKIM TXT is complete (long p= value not cut off)
Only one SPF record on that host
DMARC and Sending MX published when Email Sending is on
Email Receiving toggled to match intent (sending vs receiving) — default is on for new domains
Tracking CNAME host matches the dashboard (link or link.<sub>) and is free or intentionally replaced
