Instead a non-delivered message arrives: “Message not delivered
You’re sending this from a different address or alias using the ‘Send mail as’ feature. The settings for your ‘Send mail as’ account are misconfigured or out of date. Check those settings and try resending.”
It was working for a few minutes though…

I have successfully managed to set up my custom domain using the second method (b) and it absolutely works. Just wanted to say “Thank you!”
Really.

Under Domain Management, I have the options to change DNS settings: https://www.strato.nl/faq/domeinnaam/welke-dns-items-kun-je-bij-STRATO-configureren/

Under MX Record: I set the Hostname to my site, and priority is only Low/High (not 10, 20).
Under TXT and CNAME records: I set the type: TXT, Prefix: [blank], Domain: [my domain], Value: the string of text provided from ImprovMX
Under NS Record: I select my Own Serve Name, enter those values provided by ImprovMX (e.g., mx1.improv…etc) under Server Name 1 and Server Name 2, but I get an error message from Starto: An error has occurred. The specified nameserver is not responsible for this domain.

Help please?

Server returned error: “We were unable to locate the other domain. Please contact your other provider. I’m stuck at step 3. Can you please help assist.

(?) The reason I was looking into this is because my host uses a 3rd party spam filter that just flat out blocks “suspicious” e-mails (there is a “junk” folder, but it’s always empty because of the e-mails being blocked.) They told me there’s no way to change this, and I was wanting something more g-mail-like wherein I could decide/mark something as spam or not spam for myself. But if this method is just pulling from my host’s server, well the blocked e-mails are already blocked, right?

Hi Donna,
Since you are using an email with your own domain name, there should be no issues authenticating your domain with Mailchimp.
The first thing to check is to make sure that your domain is verified with Mailchimp. This is a prerequisite to being able to authenticate your domain. If you have not verified your domain, you should do that before trying to authenticate your domain.
If your domain is verified, try restarting the domain authentication process on Mailchimp and choose to authenticate your domain manually. You will then be able to select GoDaddy as your domain provider and you’ll be guided through the steps on how to add a new CNAME and TXT record. Double-check that you entered the records correctly.
This is all you need to do to authenticate your sending domain.
Let us know if this worked.

I have a paid Google Workspace using my domain name with my email. I have a GoDaddy domain host. Now, I’m having trouble authenticating my domain name to use my Gmail. Any ideas to solve this? Thanks

You don’t need 2 Workspace accounts. On one Account you can add more domains.

For IMAP part, you can check out here: https://developers.google.com/gmail/imap/imap-smtp
