# Use your own email gateway for notifications

## Question

Can I use my own email system for outgoing emails?

## Answer

Yes, but it requires SMTP support plus DNS records.

### DKIM

Create two CNAME records:

1. Name: `mte1._domainkey.yourdomain.com` → Value: `dkim1.mandrillapp.com`
2. Name: `mte2._domainkey.yourdomain.com` → Value: `dkim2.mandrillapp.com`

Replace `yourdomain.com` with your domain.

### DMARC

Create a TXT record:

* Host: `_dmarc.yourdomain.com`
* Value: `v=DMARC1; p=none`

### TXT verification

Create a TXT record with the value:

`mandrill_verify.PASTECODE`

`PASTECODE` is provided by Support on request.

### Configure in Admin Panel

In Admin Panel → Account Management → Email Gateways, configure:

* encryption type
* whether to trust all hosts
* SMTP host and port
* username/password
* sender email

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://navixy.com/docs/qna/admin-panel/use-your-own-email-gateway-for-notifications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
