Create .well-known directory to publish MTA-STS policy for Google Workspace

Create .well-known directory to publish MTA-STS policy for Google Workspace

Hello,

 

I'm following the Google Workspace guidelines for publishing MTA-STS policy to increase email security.

https://support.google.com/a/answer/9276387?hl=en&fl=1

And I'm stuck on step 3 - Create a directory named .well-known in the subdomain.

 

My domain is handled by Google Domains. When contacting Google Support, they responded that 'creating a directory is offered/created by web hosting that is being managed by the web host providers and not registrars like us(Google Domains)'. And advised me to contact the respective web hosting provider - Shopify.

 

But since it's a third-party domain for Shopify, I cannot manage it here either.

 

I would appreciate any advice on this matter.

 

Kind regards,

Polina

I had exactly the same issue and i don't think it is possible to do this via Shopify. The successful (and free) way round i found was to use Firebase and set up the custom domain then have point to this from within the DNS settings of your domain registrar. Does take a bit of time but worth it in the long run i suppose, if you want a more detailed explanation, let me know
