Trying to get set up with Amazon SES. The first step is to get verified for my domain via a TXT record. Well, I changed mine 48 hours ago exactly and they still haven't verified.
However, when I do a lookup I can see the MX records I added literally at the same time, but not my TXT record.
Is this an indication of an error on my part (or somewhere else in the chain)?
As an aside, if someone is kind of enough to answer, do I need TXT record to receive email?
Are you sure you set the
TXT
record correctly? You’re supposed to set them on a subdomain, if possible. – Daniel B – 2016-07-14T11:35:15.553@DanielB I followed the instructions. Name
_amazonses
with some strange value. – Yeats – 2016-07-14T11:40:12.430You can verify the DNS entries by directly querying the authoritative name server for your domain. However, you need to query
_amazonses.example.com
, notexample.com
. – Daniel B – 2016-07-14T12:13:09.033@DanielB Yep. Doesn't come up with anything. – Yeats – 2016-07-14T12:17:57.697
If the authoritative name server doesn’t serve the records you set, you should contact its operator (typically your domain provider). – Daniel B – 2016-07-14T12:35:59.593
