# Send from your own email address

> Send guest emails from an address on your own domain, like bookings@your-domain.com, instead of Overviu's.

Guest emails (booking confirmations, automated messages, your replies from the inbox) come from Overviu's address with your team's name. Add your own domain, and they come from an address like `bookings@your-domain.com` instead. Guests recognise it, and it's less likely to land in spam.

<Note>Only owners and admins can add or remove a sender email.</Note>

## Before you start

* A domain you own, like `your-domain.com`, and access to its DNS settings at your domain provider or registrar.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the address">
    Go to **Settings** → **Domains**. Under **Sender email**, type the part before the @ (like `bookings`) and your domain (like `your-domain.com`), and click **Add sender**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the DNS records">
    Overviu shows the DNS records to add, each with its type, **Name** and **Value**. Copy each one into your domain's DNS settings exactly as shown.

    The record marked **Recommended** (DMARC) isn't needed to verify, but helps your emails reach inboxes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for the check">
    Overviu checks the records every few minutes. Each record shows **Verified**, **Waiting** or **Not found**. Click **Check now** to check straight away once you've added them; DNS changes can take a while to spread.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What happens next

When every required record checks out, the sender shows **Verified** and the next guest emails come from your address. Replies still land in your [inbox](/guests/inbox).

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Pending DNS** | Waiting for the records. Guest emails still come from Overviu's address with your team's name. |
| **Verified** | Guest emails come from your address. |
| **Failed** | The records weren't found within 7 days, or stopped checking out. Guest emails come from Overviu's address again. Fix the records and click **Try again**. |

While the sender is **Pending DNS**, **Change address** changes the part before the @.

## Remove it

Click **Remove** and confirm. Guest emails come from Overviu's address again straight away. You can then remove the DNS records.
