Authenticate your domain via OVH

  3. Click the Add an entry button (on the right) and select the CNAME type.

On the Fullwhere interface, the "Name" field includes your domain name. On OVH, you should only enter the prefix, as OVH automatically adds the domain.

1. Add the first entry (DKIM)

  • Subdomain: Copy only the string of characters located before your domain name from the first Fullwhere line.

    (Example: for 2025..._domainkey.your-site.fr, write only 2025..._domainkey).

  • Target: Copy the entire Value field provided by Fullwhere.

  • Confirm the entry.

2. Add the second entry (Bounces)

Click Add an entry > CNAME again.

  • Subdomain: Copy only the prefix from the second Fullwhere line.
