Email marketing Domain Verification DNS record conflict

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://www.fleurage.com.au

Hi

Dreamhost DNS settings don't allow a TXT record to be labelled "@".

Therefore when adding the TXT record "v=spf1 include:squarespace-mail.com ~all" it can't be named correctly and verification fails. Dreamhost are of the opinion that "@" is optional, but by not being able to add the "@" label means: 

1 it conflicts with another unlabelled TXT file (google) and 

2 when the google TXT file is removed it still does not appear to verify with squarespace. Propagation of record verified. 

Any options?

Hi,

 
 
I'm a bit confused since I'm unable to verify my domain from my email marketing campaign.
 

I keep on getting an error for the second record "TXT" type.

I already updated my DNS customer record from Google domain as well, but I still can't verify my domain. Whenever I add an "@" from Google Domain, it prompts me to leave it blank as well.

Also, I am able to see that I already have a duplicate for my TXT record under Google Workspace. My client created the Google Workspace account via Google, not directly from Squarespace MISTAKENLY. (Please see the 2nd box on the screenshot above).

I also can't connect my Google Workspace account to my Squarespace website. Are these issues connected then?
 
Please advise. Thank you so much.
 
Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

You should leave the host field blank:
