Troubleshooting
TXT record value is truncated
TXT record value is truncated
GoDaddy may truncate long TXT values in the display, but the full value is stored. Copy the value directly from SendKit and paste it — the record will work correctly.
Cannot find DNS management
Cannot find DNS management
If your domain uses external nameservers, GoDaddy won’t manage DNS for it. Check your nameserver settings under DNS > Nameservers.
Already have an MX record on the send subdomain

You should only have one MX record on
send.yourdomain.com. If there’s a conflicting record, remove it before adding the SendKit MX record.
