Every registrar asks for the same three things per record: a type, a host (also called name) and a value (also called target, content or points to). Copy them from the Domains page. The notes below cover the quirks of each provider.
  1. Open the zone, then DNS → Records → Add record.
  2. For each DKIM record choose type CNAME, paste the host and target, and set Proxy status to DNS only (grey cloud). A proxied CNAME cannot be verified.
  3. For the return path add an MX record with name mail, mail server feedback-smtp.af-south-1.amazonses.com, priority 10, and a TXT record with name mail and content v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all.
  4. Add the DMARC TXT with name _dmarc.
