I am trying to add a domain for use with WorkMail. I'm following the directions for confirm domain ownership, WorkMail configuation, Improved Security, and Improved email delivery. I purchased my domain using Namecheap and I am configuring the DNS records using Namecheap's Advanced DNS.
The first issue I have run into is that any record it would like me to add that uses the name of the domain ends in a '.'
For example it would like to add the TXT record "_amazonses.mydomain.com." Namecheap's DNS does not seem to like that '.' at the end of the domain and it says the record cannot be saved. If I remove the '.' Namecheap will save the DNS record, but the WorkMail domain status reports that they have failed.
Thank you for your help
Thank you for your response - I've resolved some of the issues. Records WorkMail said to add like "autodiscover.mydomain.com." I just added as "autodiscover" and removed the domain at the end. Now the only records that are not verified ones that only contain "mydomain.com." as the record key.
