Step 2: Setup the Subdomain.
- In Mailgun, you will see the DNS entries; 2 TXT records, 2 MX records, and 1 CNAME. Go back to GoDaddy DNS provider. Now you will set up the DNS entries.
- Choose Type from the dropdown menu to add the DNS entry.
- Here are the record types shown in Mailgun. NOTE: Do not use these exact record hosts as they the hosts will be specific to the domain you are setting up.
- Type: TXT ; Host: replies ; Value: paste from Mailgun page. Save
- (Repeat for 2nd TXT record.)
- Type: MX ; Host: replies ; Points to: paste from Mailgun page ; Priority: 10 ; TTL: leave defaulted to 1 hour.
- (Repeat for 2nd MX record.)
- Type: CNAME ; Host: email.replies ; Points to: enter value ; TTL: leave defaulted to 1 hour
Step 3: Click “Verify DNS Settings”.
- All 5 should have the green check mark. If any do not, check the record and re-attempt.
NOTE: If the green check marks are not showing up, you’ll want to ensure that the Host pieces for each record only have the sub-domain piece of the total record. For example, if the total record is mailo._domainkey.mg.thedemoaccount.com, you would only put in mailo._domainkey.mg.
