# Our Software Email: How to Set Up a Dedicated Sending Domain

Email marketing is a great way to reach customers and increase sales. But if you're not careful, you could end up in trouble. A dedicated sending domain gives you control over what appears to be coming from your business. That means you can avoid spam filters and other issues that might make your messages get caught by unwanted mail servers. Don't let your email marketing efforts go unnoticed! In this article, we will get started with setting up a dedicated sending domain.

_**Note:** Dedicated sending domains are only applicable to the users in_ &#x4F;_&#x75;r Software **Email system.**_

A dedicated sending domain allows you to send emails that appear to be coming from your brand, and this can help you maintain a better reputation with email services.

By default, all emails sent from our platform will show the name of our email-sending servers in the "**sent on behalf of**" or "**sent via**" email headers:

When you set up your own custom mail server domain, you will see a different "**mailed-by**", "**sent on behalf**", or "**sent via**" field.

It would be best if you used a unique subdomain that is not used for any other purpose. A subdomain is a secondary part of your root domain. For example, if your dedicated sending domain is hello@mg.yourbrand.com, your subdomain would be the “mg” portion.

If your sending domain is listed below, you are using the LC Email system default domains.

* mg.msgsndr.org
* mg.msgsndr.net
* replies001.msgsndr.com
* replies.msgsndr.com
* replies000.msgsndr.com
* ec1.msgsndr.org
* ec1.msgsndr.net
