Domain Chief

Domain Chief can use Reloop Auto-populate when nameservers match. Manual steps are always available as a fallback.

First, log in to Reloop and add a domain.

Automatic setup (recommended)

The fastest way to verify your domain on Domain Chief is Auto populate in Reloop. This uses Domain Connect — Domain Chief indexes public templates automatically (Domain Chief Domain Connect).

1. Go to your Domains page in Reloop and open the domain.
2. (Optional) If you want to receive emails, turn Receiving on before Auto-populate so the inbound MX is included. Learn more below.
3. Click Auto populate (shown when Reloop detects Domain Chief nameservers).
4. Authorize Reloop in Domain Chief and approve the records.
5. Return to Reloop — records are written automatically.

That’s it. Your domain will usually verify within a few minutes.

If Auto-populate fails or Reloop does not offer it, use Manual setup below. See also Auto-populate DNS and Auto-populate failed.

Manual setup

If you prefer to add DNS records manually, follow these steps. Always copy Type / Name / Value from your domain page in Reloop — examples below use placeholders.

Log in to Domain Chief

Log in to Domain Chief and open DNS for the domain whose nameservers match ns.domainchief.app / .eu / .nl / .net.

Domain Chief → select domain → DNS.

If Reloop or dig NS yourdomain.com shows a different host, stop and edit that host instead — see Wrong nameservers.

Add MX SPF record

Add a record in Domain Chief:

1. Set the Type to MX.
2. Set the Name to the host Reloop shows (for a subdomain like team.example.com, often team or @ depending on the UI).
3. Copy the MX value from Reloop into the mail server / value field (typically reloop.sh).
4. Use Auto or the provider default for TTL.
5. Set Priority to the value Reloop shows (often 10).
6. Save.

Add TXT SPF record

Add a record in Domain Chief:

1. Set the Type to TXT.
2. Set the Name to the host Reloop shows (same host as the sending MX, e.g. team or @).
3. Copy the TXT value from Reloop (typically v=spf1 include:reloop.sh -all).
4. Use Auto or the provider default for TTL.
5. Save.

Add TXT DKIM record

Add a record in Domain Chief:

1. Set the Type to TXT.
2. Set the Name from Reloop (selector is usually reloop._domainkey). Under an apex zone this may be reloop._domainkey.team.
3. Copy the full TXT value from Reloop into the value field (v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=…).
4. Use Auto or the provider default for TTL.
5. Save.

Receiving emails

If you want Reloop to receive mail on this hostname, turn Receiving on in the domain settings in Reloop, then add an MX record in Domain Chief:

1. Set the Type to MX.
2. Set the Name to the host Reloop shows (e.g. team or @).
3. Copy the MX value from Reloop (typically inbound.reloop.sh).
4. Use Auto or the provider default for TTL.
5. Set Priority as shown in Reloop (often 10).
6. Save.

Complete verification

Return to Domains in Reloop, open the domain, and click Verify & finish. It may take a few minutes (rarely up to 48–72 hours) — see propagation.

When verification succeeds, Reloop shows You're all set! — Domain added → Verified → Ready to send. Your domain is verified and you are good to go.

Domain Chief-specific notes

• Domain Chief auto-indexes public Domain Connect templates — prefer Auto populate when Reloop offers it.
• Auto-populate only works when public nameservers point at Domain Chief.
• Optional DMARC and tracking (link CNAME) rows also appear in Reloop when enabled — add them the same way from the dashboard values.
