# Email setup

{% hint style="warning" %}
While your instance is under the `readymage.com` domain and you're using Magento 2's default email-sending functionality via `sendmail`, you’ll need to configure your store’s email address using a temporary subdomain of `readymage.com`. For example, you can use `info@YOUR-STORE.readymage.com`.
{% endhint %}

## Using ReadyMage SES

To use a different domain's email address with default Magento 2 email sending functionality, a domain switch is required on your instance. ReadyMage team will provide the required SES (Simple Email Service) DNS records that have to be added to your domain management panel. Follow [these instructions](/project-development/change-domain.md) to switch the domain.

## Using 3rd party SMTP

Alternatively, to default Magento 2 email sending functionality, you can integrate 3rd party email solutions for Magento 2.
