This will generate **four DNS records**. These records need to be added to the **DNS settings** of your **email domain provider**. The exact process may vary depending on your provider. > Note: If you need assistance, your domain provider is your primary point of contact. **Important note on sending and receiving emails** ikas allows you to send emails using your own domain (e.g. order confirmations), but does **not provide email hosting**. This means: You can send emails using an address like info@your-domain.com, but in order to **receive emails** (e.g. replies from customers), this address must be **set up and managed with an external email provider**. The DNS records generated in the ikas panel only affect **email sending** – not receiving or mailbox management. 6. **Verify the Domain:** After the DNS records have been added, click the **Verify Domain** button in the ikas Dashboard. Once the status changes from **Pending** to **Verified**, your email domain has been successfully connected. > **Note**: Updating DNS records can take up to 24 hours.   ###### Why is “noreply” often used as the sender address? - Prevents unwanted replies - Reduces spam and phishing risk - Alternative contact options should still be provided for support purposes     💡 Learn in the following articles how to set up your email domain settings and edit your email notifications: -
