Question
Configure CNAMEs for SendGrid, how to?
Hello, I’m almost a complete noob at this.
I followd Discrouse’s install instructions and created an account on SendGrid to serve as a mail server for Discourse. However, I seem to cannot validate the domain (whitelabeling) that I added on the SendGrid account. It seems that I don’t know how to add the CNAME records for my droplet’s domain, because I’m getting the following message:
Error validating domain:
Expected CNAME for “mail.medaddon.com” to match “u2210027.wl.sendgrid.net”.
Expected CNAME for “s1.domainkey.medaddon.com” to match “s1.domainkey.u2210027.wl.sendgrid.net”.
Expected CNAME for “s2.domainkey.medaddon.com” to match “s2.domainkey.u2210027.wl.sendgrid.net”.
I hope it’s still propagating.
Can somebody help, please? :D

hey :)
did it work for you ?
You need to put a dot in the end of alias.
Example:
s1.domainkey -> s1.domainkey.u2210027.wl.sendgrid.net. < it’s necessary this last dot
Bye!
I think this is outdated. DigitalOcean interface adds domain name to subdomain and it removes the dot at the end of the sendgrid.net
