### Note

{% hint style="info" %}
You can check the propagation of your DNS in your Scribe settings or using the link below: <https://dnschecker.org/#CNAME/signature-assets.scribe-mail.com>

{% hint style="info" %}
DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours. Once the DNS is working, the status in Scribe will change to “validated.”

If you are using Cloudflare:&#x20;

* Make sure to have DNS only in Proxy Status.&#x20;
* Make sure to disable CNAME flattening.
