Custom Domains
Use your own domain with laim.email for full brand control and deliverability.
DNS Records Required
Add the following records at your domain registrar or DNS provider. Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain.
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| MX | @ | mail.laim.email (priority 10) |
| TXT | @ | v=spf1 mx a:mail.laim.email -all |
| TXT | mail._domainkey | [DKIM public key from dashboard] |
| TXT | _dmarc | v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@laim.email; ruf=mailto:dmarc@laim.email; fo=1 |
Verification Flow
After adding your domain in the dashboard, follow these steps to verify ownership:
- 1
Add your domain
Go to the Dashboard and add your domain. It enters a
pendingstate. - 2
Set DNS records
Add the MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records at your registrar or DNS provider.
- 3
Verify
Click “Verify” in the dashboard. The system checks all four records: MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
- 4
Domain goes active
Once all checks pass, your domain moves to
active. You can now receive mail on it.
Outbound Enablement
After domain verification, outbound sending goes through a separate enablement flow:
pending_dns
Initial state after domain verification. DNS records are being checked for outbound readiness.
verified_dns
DNS has fully propagated and all outbound-related records are confirmed.
send_enabled
Outbound is active. Mail sent from this domain is DKIM-signed and delivered direct-to-MX.
Important Notes
DNS propagation— Changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally. Most providers complete within a few minutes to a few hours.
DKIM key— Each domain gets a unique DKIM key. Copy the value exactly as shown in the dashboard, including the full v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=... string.
Direct-to-MX delivery — laim.email sends your outbound mail directly to the recipient's mail server. No third-party relay dependency means faster delivery and full control.
