## Body Parameters

string

required

The name of the domain you want to create.

string

default:"us-east-1"

The region where emails will be sent from. Possible values: `'us-east-1' | 'eu-west-1' | 'sa-east-1' | 'ap-northeast-1'`

string

default:"opportunistic"

- `opportunistic`: Opportunistic TLS means that it always attempts to make a secure connection to the receiving mail server. If it can’t establish a secure connection, it sends the message unencrypted.
- `enforced`: Enforced TLS on the other hand, requires that the email communication must use TLS no matter what. If the receiving server does not support TLS, the email will not be sent.

object

Configure the domain capabilities for sending and receiving emails. At least one capability must be enabled.

:::accordion{title="Show properties"}
string

default:"enabled"

Enable or disable sending emails from this domain. Possible values: `'enabled' | 'disabled'`

string

default:"disabled"

Enable or disable receiving emails to this domain. Possible values: `'enabled' | 'disabled'`
