Select **Route 53** from the search results to access its features. ## Step 3: Manage Hosted Zones - Click on the hosted zones under DNS Management in the Route 53 dashboard. - In the Hosted Zones section, use the search bar to filter records by property or value. - Select the hosted zone named **sx25.email** from the filtered results. ## Step 4: Create DNS Records - In the Records section, click on **Create Record** to add a new DNS record. - Copy the DKIM record value from the Domain Setup page. - Enter subdomain in the Record Name field in the form. - Select **TXT** from the Record Type drop-down menu. - Paste the copied DKIM value into the Value field of the TXT record. ## Step 5: Add Additional Records - Click **Add Another Record** to create a new record. - Enter subdomain in the Record Name field for the new record. - Change the Record Type to name 4-routing traffic to another domain name. - Copy the value **sp.sendpost.info** for the name record. - Enter **www.sendpost.info** for the domain name. - Enter **.example.com** as the value for the name record. ## Step 6: Review and Finalize DNS Records - Review the Domain Records list in the Domain Setup page. - Click the Copy icon next to the DMARC record value. - Enter the subdomain name in the Record Name field in the AWS Route 53 interface. - Paste the copied DMARC record value into the Value field. - Ensure the IP address is correctly entered in the Value field for the DNS record. - Choose **TXTs** to verify email senders and for application-specific values from the drop-down. - Click the **Create Records** button to save the new record. ## Step 7: Check Propagation Status - A notification appears indicating records were successfully created and propagated. - Click the **View Status** button to check the propagation status. - In the AWS console, check the status of the change request, which is currently pending. - Hover over the pending status in the AWS console to view more details. ## Step 8: Finalize Domain Settings - In the Domain Settings, click the Refresh icon next to the DMARC record. - Select **Recheck Status** from the drop-down menu in the Domain Settings. - Navigate to the DNS Records tab and review the DKM, Return Path, Track, and MARC settings. ## Step 9: Add a Sender -
