# Customizing System E-mails in Kontainer

## Using Your Own Domain as Sender

If you specify an e-mail address from your own domain as the sender, Kontainer will send system e-mails on behalf of your domain.

**Important:** To ensure successful delivery, Kontainer must be whitelisted in your domain settings. Otherwise, e-mails may fail to send.

### Required DNS Settings

Provide the following information to your IT team:

1. **SPF Record** (add to existing)**:** `include:spf.kontainer.com`
2. **DKIM:** `kont._domainkey.yourdomain.com CNAME dkim.app.kontainer.com.`

After these records are added, Kontainer will be authorized to send system e-mails from your domain.
