This customization enhances your brand’s credibility and ensures a seamless communication experience with your clients. This guide will walk you through setting up your custom sending domain and configuring the necessary DNS records. **Estimated Time to Complete:** 10 minutes (excluding DNS propagation time) **Prerequisites:** WP Umbrella installed on your WordPress site & access to your DNS provider settings. ## Steps to Follow ### Step 1: Navigate to Custom Sending Domain 1. Log in to your **WP Umbrella dashboard** 2. Go to **Account Settings > Custom Sending Domain.** ![](https://d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.net/docs/assets/606c20ba9b956f5f5cfe4090/images/672726ee52600a4bb338e0fb/file-ruKejUijmj.png) ### Step 2: Authenticate Your Domain ![](https://d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.net/docs/assets/606c20ba9b956f5f5cfe4090/images/66559680e1989867dcefd2ed/file-nGFJ3Socu8.png) To allow WP Umbrella to send emails on behalf of your domain, you need to add the following DNS records at your DNS provider: ✅ **MX Records** – Required for email delivery. These define which mail servers can accept incoming emails for your domain. ✅ **SPF Record** – A TXT record that authorizes WP Umbrella to send emails from your domain. ✅ **DKIM Record** – A TXT record that ensures the integrity and authenticity of emails sent from your domain. ![](https://d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.net/docs/assets/606c20ba9b956f5f5cfe4090/images/665596c25940934e140f3f56/file-jpHiBHMDmV.png) 🔹 **Need help editing your DNS records?** Check out our DNS setup guides for different providers: - [How to edit your DNS records on Kinsta](https://kinsta.com/help/dns/) - [How to edit your DNS records on O2Switch (in French)](https://faq.o2switch.fr/hebergement-mutualise/tutoriels-cpanel/editeur-zone-dns-zone-editor) - [How to edit your DNS records on SiteGround](https://www.siteground.com/kb/manage-dns-records/) - [How to edit your DNS records on WP Engine](https://wpengine.com/support/wordpress-best-practice-configuring-dns-for-wp-engine/) - [How to edit your SPF Records on GoDaddy](https://www.godaddy.com/help/edit-an-spf-record-19219) - [How to edit MX Records on GoDaddy](https://www.godaddy.com/help/edit-an-mx-record-19235) - [How to edit your DNS records on OVH](https://docs.ovh.com/us/en/domains/web_hosting_general_information_about_dns_servers/) - [How to edit your DNS records on Ionos](https://www.ionos.com/help/domains/dns-settings/) - [How to edit your DNS records on Bluehost](https://www.bluehost.com/help/article/dns-management-add-edit-or-delete-dns-entries) - [How to edit your DNS records on Cloudways](https://support.cloudways.com/en/articles/5156623-creating-an-a-record)[How to edit your DNS records on DigitalOcean](https://code.krister.ee/mailgun-digitalocean/) - [How to edit your DNS records on AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/setting-up-route-53.html) - [How to edit your DNS records on RackSpace](https://docs.rackspace.com/support/how-to/cloud-dns/) - [How to edit your DNS records on Namecheap](https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/579/2237/which-record-type-option-should-i-choose-for-the-information-im-about-to-enter/) - [How to edit your DNS records on Hostinger](https://support.hostinger.com/en/articles/1583673-how-to-add-spf-records-for-emails-at-hostinger) ### Step 3: Verify Your Domain Once you've added the required DNS records, return to the **Custom Sending Domain** page and click **Verify Domain.** ⚠ Important: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, so you might not be able to verify immediately. ![](https://d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.net/docs/assets/606c20ba9b956f5f5cfe4090/images/66573ab6dd0f8c60bb3fc687/file-jBzMgXJVT3.png) ### Step 4: Replace [noreply@wp-umbrella.com](mailto:noreply@wp-umbrella.com) with Your Own Domain 1.

Select your custom sending domain. 🎉 ![](https://d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.net/docs/assets/606c20ba9b956f5f5cfe4090/images/66573b39e1989867dcefd44a/file-89KI0KqzVU.png) ## Using Multiple Domains Since **May 2024**, WP Umbrella now allows you to add multiple domains! This means you can use different email addresses and domains for sending reports. **How to Add an Additional Domain?** 1. Go to **Custom Sending Domains**. 2. Click **Add Domain** in the top-right corner. 3. Follow the same DNS authentication process for each new domain. 📌 Note: You must complete the DNS verification for each new domain before using it. ![](https://d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.net/docs/assets/606c20ba9b956f5f5cfe4090/images/66573fe45940934e140f40bf/file-1JTQN0Etwf.png) ## Common Issues & Troubleshooting **❓ Why can’t I add my domain to WP Umbrella?** Your domain might already be registered with Mailgun. If this happens, contact us at [support@wp-umbrella.com](mailto:support@wp-umbrella.com), and we’ll help resolve it. ❓ **My domain verification is failing**. **What should I do?** - Double-check that you've correctly added all the required DNS records. - Wait up to 48 hours for full DNS propagation. - Clear your DNS cache or try checking from a different network. ❓ **Can I remove a sending domain later?** Yes! You can manage and remove domains anytime in **Custom Sending Domains**. ## Final Thoughts And that’s it! You’ve successfully customized your sending domain for WP Umbrella maintenance reports. This small but impactful tweak ensures your communications look more professional and aligned with your brand. Keep up the great work! 💪🚀
