MX Records

The first step in configuring your DNS is updating your MX records.

MX records tell the world which server should receive the e-mails

sent to your domain

and deliver

them to the specified e-mail provider, straight to your mailbox. You can usually

edit the MX records

for your domain from the same Control Panel you use for managing your DNS. You can safely keep your website hosted with another provider and only use

our hosting services for the e-mail.

You should first remove all other MX records and then add the following, with the specified preference (the Host value is usually '@'):

2. Webmail Record

To access your webmail using a custom URL, you must configure CNAME records within your domain for the webmail host.

You must create:

3. SPF Record

The SPF record is necessary, so your e-mail is not marked as Spam. The SPF will help with your e-mail deliverability because it specifies a list of authorized hosts that can send e-mails on behalf of a domain.

First, check for any existing TXT records with SPF.

If you don't have an existing SPF record, you must add a TXT record with the following value (the host value is usually '@'):

If you have an SPF record, you should edit it and insert before the final -all directive, the following value: include:emailarray.com

4. DKIM Records

To improve e-mail deliverability, you should enable DKIM for your domain from your Admin Panel and then add the records to your DNS.

DKIM is an e-mail authentication method designed to detect forged sender addresses in e-mails, a technique often used in phishing and e-mail spam (Wikipedia).

To enable DKIM for your domain:

• Go to the Admin Panel.

• Log in using your Admin username and password.
• Click on Domains in the menu.
• Click on the DKIM icon next to the domain you wish to activate DKIM for
• In the new window, switch the Enable option to Yes. This will generate your DKIM record.
• Update your DNS to include the generated DKIM record as TXT record (use the Host value for Host and the Key value for TXT Value).
• Note it might take some time to propagate in the DNS.

5. Autodiscover Records

To simplify the configuration on some desktop & mobile e-mail clients, you should use the Autodiscover web service record to configure these clients automatically. You have to add an *A* record in the DNS for your domain:
