# Sending domains

> Verify your own domain so campaigns and receipts come from your address—and land in inboxes, not spam.

To send email from your own address—and to keep it out of spam folders—your organization verifies a **sending domain** on the **Sending domains** page. This underpins every [campaign](/email/campaigns), receipt, and thank-you.

## Adding and verifying a domain

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the domain">
    Choose **Add Domain** and enter the domain you send from (e.g., `yourorg.org`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the DNS records">
    Advocora gives you DNS records to add at your domain registrar—DKIM, return-path, and DMARC.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    Choose **Verify**. Once the records are found, the domain becomes **Active** and the DKIM / Return / DMARC checks show green.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The domains table

Each domain shows its status (**unverified**, **pending**, or **active**), the from email, and the state of its three DNS checks. Choose **Set Default** to make one the default sender, and use the settings icon to adjust a domain.

<Note>
  DNS changes can take a little while to propagate. If verification doesn't pass immediately, give it some time and choose **Verify** again.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Getting all three checks (DKIM, return-path, DMARC) green is the single biggest thing you can do for deliverability. It's worth getting right before a big send.
