AWS Route 53

Verify your domain on AWS Route 53 with Reloop.

Add Reloop’s DNS records in AWS Route 53 using the values from your domain page in Reloop.

Add a domain in Reloop

  1. Log in to Reloop and add a domain.
  2. Keep that tab open — every host and value you paste must match Reloop exactly (especially the DKIM key).

Reloop works with the root domain, a subdomain, or both — for example example.com, mail.example.com, or updates.example.com.

Manual setup

Log in to AWS Route 53

Open AWS Route 53 and go to DNS for the domain whose nameservers match awsdns-.

Route 53 → Hosted zones → your zone → Records.

If Reloop or dig NS yourdomain.com shows a different host, stop and edit that host instead — see Wrong nameservers.

Field mapping

ReloopAWS Route 53 fieldExample
TypeTypeTXT / MX / CNAME
Name / HostName@, reloop._domainkey, _dmarc, link, …
Value / ContentValueExact value from Reloop
TTLTTLAuto or provider default
Priority (MX only)PriorityAs shown in Reloop (often 10)

Omit your domain from the Name/Host field when the provider appends it automatically. Paste reloop._domainkey or link (or link.<sub> for subdomains), not the full FQDN ending in .example.com. Always copy the host from Reloop.

Add the records from Reloop

For each required row on the Reloop domain page:

1

Choose the type

Match Reloop’s type: TXT, MX, or CNAME.

2

Set the name / host

Copy the host from Reloop (@, reloop._domainkey, _dmarc, link or link.<sub>, …).

3

Paste the value

Copy the value exactly. For MX, also set Priority as shown (often 10). If priority 10 is already used by another MX you must keep, use the next free value only when Reloop’s UI allows it — otherwise use a subdomain.

4

Save

Save the record, then continue with the next Reloop row.

Typical Reloop rows (always confirm in the dashboard):

PurposeTypeHost (typical)Value (typical)
SPFTXT@v=spf1 include:reloop.sh -all (or merge into existing SPF)
DKIMTXTreloop._domainkeyv=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=… (unique per domain)
DMARCTXT_dmarcv=DMARC1; p=reject; (or your existing policy) — required when Email Sending is on
Sending MXMX@ or subdomain hostreloop.sh (required when Email Sending is on)
TrackingCNAMElink (or link.<sub> for subdomains)link.reloop.sh (on by default for new domains)
Receiving MXMX@ or subdomain hostinbound.reloop.sh (on by default for new domains — turn Email Receiving off if you keep another inbox here)

Never create a second SPF TXT on the same host. Merge include:reloop.sh into the existing SPF. See SPF conflicts.

AWS Route 53-specific notes

  • Edit the hosted zone whose NS match the public nameservers (awsdns-).
  • For MX, set the Priority field separately from the Value.

Receiving emails

Email Receiving is on by default for new domains. If it stays on, you must publish the inbound MX Reloop shows (typically inbound.reloop.sh). Turn Email Receiving off for send-only if this hostname must keep another inbox.

When Reloop’s MX is active on a hostname, Reloop receives mail for that hostname according to MX priority. That can conflict with another inbox already using MX on the same name — use a separate hostname for Reloop receiving if needed. See MX conflicts and Sending vs receiving.

Complete verification

  1. Return to Domains in Reloop.
  2. Open the domain and click Verify Domain (setup page: Verify & finish; menu: Re-verify DNS).
  3. Wait until status is active. Most providers update within minutes; allow up to 48–72 hours in rare cases (propagation).
