Configuring DNS records correctly is vital for your domain’s functionality. In this article, we’ll share the key Spacemail DNS records you need to add to your DNS provider.
Below you can see the list of Spacemail-related DNS records to be created:
Hostname | Record type | Priority | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
@ | MX | 0 | |
@ | MX | 0 | |
@ | TXT | v=spf1 include:spf.spacemail.com ~all | |
spacemail._domainkey | TXT | the unique value should be copied from your Spaceship account | |
_autodiscover._tcp | SRV | 0 |
|
Note: @ stands for yourdomain.com; spacemail._domainkey stands for a subdomain spacemail._domainkey.yourdomain.com correspondingly.
There is another TXT record we recommend adding - the DKIM record. It positively affects email deliverability, proving that emails sent from your domain are legitimate. To find it in your Spaceship account and set it up for a third-party domain, please follow these steps:
1. Go to the Advanced DNS application;
2. Find your third-party domain name associated with Spacemail and click on the arrow next to it;
3. Scroll down to the ‘Inactive records’ section, click on the arrow expand, and find ‘Spacemail DNS records’;
4. Locate a TXT record that starts with ‘v=DKIM1; k=rsa; …’ and add this record to the DNS zone of your domain with the hostname ‘spacemail._domainkey’.
Once you set up the records, it may take a few hours for the Spacemail DNS records to be updated through the network.
