Connect your company domain

Your domain must publish four DNS records before mail on it will deliver reliably to outside providers.

  1. 1

    Open the admin console

    Go to the domain section, where the exact record values for your domain are listed.

  2. 2

    Add the MX record

    In your registrar's DNS panel, add the MX record shown. Remove any MX record from a previous provider once you are ready to switch fully.

  3. 3

    Add SPF and DKIM

    Publish exactly one SPF record. Two SPF records invalidate each other and cause spam placement.

  4. 4

    Add DMARC in monitoring mode

    Start with a policy of none so nothing is rejected while you confirm legitimate senders.

  5. 5

    Run the validation wizard

    It checks your live DNS and flags any record that is missing or wrong. Re-run it until all are green.

Good to know

  • Records usually take 15 to 60 minutes to take effect, occasionally up to 24 hours.
