Namecheap treats MX as a record type of its own, distinct from CNAME and TXT, so the MAIL FROM MX record needs a different Type selection than the SPF record that shares its host. Find `acme.com` under Domain List, choose Manage, and open the Advanced DNS tab; Add New Record opens a row for each entry below.

## Add the records

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

Add a CNAME row for each of the three DKIM tokens:

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | CNAME Record |
| Host | `<token>._domainkey.mail` |
| Value | `<token>.dkim.amazonses.com` |
| TTL | Automatic |

The Host field is relative to `acme.com`, so drop the trailing `.acme.com` from the full name Mailfully returned.

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | MX Record |
| Host | `send.mail` |
| Value | `feedback-smtp.us-east-1.amazonses.com` |
| Priority | 10 |
| TTL | Automatic |

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | TXT Record |
| Host | `send.mail` |
| Value | `v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all` |
| TTL | Automatic |

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | TXT Record |
| Host | `_dmarc.mail` |
| Value | `v=DMARC1; p=none;` |
| TTL | Automatic |

</Step>
</Steps>

The apex itself uses `@` for a Host value; none of Mailfully's six records target the apex, so you won't need it here, but it's the value to reach for if a later record does.

## MX gets its own record type

CNAME and TXT carry no priority concept, so Namecheap only exposes the Priority field on MX Record.

## 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
```

[Verify with dig](/dns/overview#verify-with-dig) sets out what each of the four should return.
