GoDaddy's DNS records live under My Products: select the domain, open DNS, then Manage DNS, and add each record Mailfully returned there.

## Add the records

GoDaddy's record form has four fields: Type, Name, Value, and TTL, plus Priority on MX records. The Name field is relative to the zone, and GoDaddy appends `acme.com` on save. Enter these relative values directly, for a domain managed at the `acme.com` zone:

<Steps>
<Step title="Add the three DKIM CNAMEs">

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | CNAME |
| Name | `<token>._domainkey.mail` |
| Value | `<token>.dkim.amazonses.com` |
| TTL | 1 Hour |

Do this three times over, once per token Mailfully returned.

</Step>
<Step title="Add the MAIL FROM MX record">

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | MX |
| Name | `send.mail` |
| Value | `feedback-smtp.us-east-1.amazonses.com` |
| Priority | 10 |

</Step>
<Step title="Add the MAIL FROM SPF record">

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | TXT |
| Name | `send.mail` |
| Value | `v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all` |

</Step>
<Step title="Add the DMARC record">

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | TXT |
| Name | `_dmarc.mail` |
| Value | `v=DMARC1; p=none;` |

</Step>
</Steps>

## Read the saved records back

Don't try to settle this from GoDaddy's record list. Whether it shows a saved name in the relative form, `<token>._domainkey.mail`, or in full, the display says nothing about whether the zone got appended underneath it. Confirm against the `dig` output below: if the CNAME resolves to the DKIM target, the name is right no matter how GoDaddy shows it.

## Verify

```bash
dig +short <token>._domainkey.mail.acme.com CNAME
dig +short send.mail.acme.com MX
dig +short send.mail.acme.com TXT
dig +short _dmarc.mail.acme.com TXT
```

GoDaddy's own record list will not settle this; the lookups will. [Verify with dig](/dns/overview#verify-with-dig) gives the answer each one should return.
