Report and Remove Malware: Essential Steps for Safe Computing
Before sending your first email campaign, you need to set up and verify your sender details. Here's how to do it properly:
Sender Details Basics
Use a custom domain email (like [email protected]) rather than free services like Gmail for better deliverability and to avoid spam flags. You can create up to 10 sender details but use only one at a time.
Step 1: Create Sender Details
- Navigate to Email Campaign settings
- Click "Sender Details"
- Click "Add Sender"
- Enter your sender name (visible to recipients)
- Add your email address

Step 2: Verify Your Email
- Check your inbox for the verification email
- Copy the verification code
- Enter the code in the sender details setup window

Step 3: Verify Your Domain
- Squarespace domains verify automatically
- Third-party domains require manual verification
- DMARC policy set to p=reject requires domain verification first
Managing Sender Details
To Edit:
- Go to Email Campaign settings
- Find the sender details to edit
- Click "..." and select "Edit"
- Modify the name and save
To Delete:
- Access Email Campaign settings
- Locate the sender details
- Click "..." and select "Delete"
- Confirm deletion
Important Notes:
- Email addresses cannot be edited; create new sender details instead
- Custom domain emails are strongly recommended over free email services
- Some free email providers (like AOL, Yahoo, iCloud) are not supported
- Your mailing address will be added separately when sending campaigns
For best results:
- Register your domain through Squarespace
- Set up Google Workspace email
- Create and verify sender details
