Setting up a Mailtrap sending domain
Overview
You must add and verify a domain you control before live sending. Mailtrap shows every DNS record required for that domain in the UI: add the complete set as given (do not cherry-pick). After DNS verifies, complete the compliance step if requested.
Subdomain vs root: add the exact hostname you will use in the From address. If you send from notifications.mycompany.com, add that subdomain as the sending domain—not only mycompany.com, unless you truly send from the root domain.
For step-by-step clicks at common hosts, open the matching guide on Sending domain setup (Cloudflare, Route 53, etc.) and follow it alongside the live UI values.
