# DNS: Route 53 (AWS)

> Publish your SentFromAI DNS records in Amazon Route 53.

After adding a [custom domain](/guides/custom-domains), add the DKIM, SPF, DMARC, and MX records
SentFromAI returned in your Route 53 hosted zone.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the hosted zone">
    AWS Console → **Route 53 → Hosted zones** → select the zone for your domain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the DKIM records (CNAME ×3)">
    **Create record** → Record name = the `*._domainkey…` value (Route 53 shows the zone suffix
    greyed out, so enter only the part before it), Type **CNAME**, Value = `…dkim.amazonses.com`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add SPF + DMARC (TXT)">
    Type **TXT**, with the value **wrapped in double quotes**, e.g. `"v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all"`.
    The `_dmarc` record likewise.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the MX records">
    Type **MX**, Value in the form `10 inbound-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com` (priority then host).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Prefer infrastructure-as-code? The same records map cleanly to
  `aws_route53_record` resources in Terraform — one per record, `ttl = 300`.
</Tip>

SentFromAI verifies automatically once the records resolve. Track status on the **Domains** page in
the [dashboard](https://console.sentfrom.ai) or call `POST /domains/{id}/verify`.
