  Hi there,

  You should be able to add TXT records following the instructions here:

  Manage Your DNS Records

  Specifically for GoDaddy, you’ll want to follow the steps here:

  Let me know if you need any additional help!

  I did what it says following the directions for Go Daddy, but Go Daddy still says that it can’t confirm that I own the domain. Is it still supposed to have the line CNAME *domain handled by Workpress.com?

  Hi there,

  Yes, the CNAME *domain handled by WordPress.com is a default record that will stay in place. It should still allow you to setup custom email records though!

  It looks like you’ve entered custom records, but it looks like you’ve entered more than necessary (i.e. records from multiple services). Can you confirm that you have your custom email address through GoDaddy?

  Hi Ashley,

  It looks like there might be some conflicting DNS records. For example, I see a handful for Outlook.com, which wouldn’t be applicable since your email is hosted at GoDaddy. Can you try just adding the records as specified here?
