Q: Custom Return Path

Does Emailit support a custom Return-Path (also known as a custom bounce domain or custom MAIL FROM)?

I'm evaluating Emailit as a transactional email provider and couldn't find any mention of this feature in the documentation.

What I mean specifically: being able to set the Return-Path header to a subdomain of my own domain (e.g. `em.mydomain.com`) instead of Emailit's own domain.

This is important for DMARC alignment without a custom Return-Path, the MAIL FROM domain doesn't align with the From domain, which can negatively impact deliverability.

Is this supported?

A: Hi there,

You always have to set a MX DNS record for return-path/bounces. It always starts with "emailit" for example: emailit.domain.com if you add domain.com to domains.

We never set our own (Emailit's domain) for delivery purposes. (Only for double DKIM signature).

So we are fully DMARC aligned (relaxed)
