# Remove Receiving Domain

> Stop receiving mail for a domain

Remove a receiving domain. The response returns the domain as it was before
removal.

<Warning>
  Mail to every address on the domain stops reaching your Inbox, including
  replies to emails you already sent with reply addresses on it. A branded inbox
  address on the domain is cleared, and your inbox address goes back to `inbox+   {companyId}@inbound.sequenzy.com`.
</Warning>

New emails stop using the domain for reply addresses. Sequenzy also deletes
the Amazon SES receiving setup it created for the name once nothing else uses
it. Remove Sequenzy's MX record from your DNS afterwards, so mail for the
domain no longer goes to Sequenzy.

Requires the `websites:delete` scope and owner or admin access.

CLI: `sequenzy receiving-domains remove support.acme.com`. MCP:
`remove_receiving_domain`.

## Request

<ParamField path="domain" type="string" required>
  The receiving domain's name, such as `support.acme.com`, or its `id`.
</ParamField>

```bash theme={null}
curl -X DELETE "https://api.sequenzy.com/api/v1/receiving-domains/support.acme.com" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```

## Response fields
