# Start verification for an additional email destination.

`POST /v1/email/destinations`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.kody.codes`
- URL: `https://api.kody.codes/v1/email/destinations`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Start verification for an additional email destination. Mail comes from your platform address; destinations expand the allowed to set. The address cannot receive mail until the owner opens the verification link. Re-adding an unverified address resends the link. Cap is 5 extras besides the account email. The account must be at least 24 hours old. Verification mail is limited to 3 requests every 15 minutes, 10 per user per rolling 24 hours, and 3 per recipient address per rolling 24 hours across all accounts. A blocked send names the limit and the UTC time to retry, and still saves the address so a later retry or adminEmailDestinationVerify can finish it. Use a different address when the recipient cap is hit, or contact support if the account needs an address sooner.

Org permission: `email:write`.
