DNS Record Configuration

Congratulations on purchasing email hosting from Ness Web Solutions. Now that you have our best in class email hosting, you need to get DNS records setup, so you can start to receive emails!

 

Step 1:  MX Records (Required)

MX Records indicate what mail server the emails should be sent to. You need to remove all other MX records, and these should be the only MX records for your domain.

Record Type Host/Name Points To/Record Priority/Preference
MX "@",  yourdomain.com, or leave it blank

mx.emailarray.com

5

MX "@",  yourdomain.com, or leave it blank

mx2.emailarray.com

10

 

Step 2: SPF Record (Required)

An SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record is a DNS record that specifies which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of a domain to help prevent email spoofing.

Before you create this record, first check to see if your domain has an SPF record already. If it does, you should edit it and add in "include:emailarray.com" before "-all" at the end of the record.

If your domain does not have an SPF record, create the following record:

Record Type Host/Name TXT Value/Record
TXT "@",  yourdomain.com, or leave it blank

v=spf1 include:emailarray.com -all

 

Step 3: Autodiscover Records (Reccomended)

Autodiscover records helps to make setting up your email on your devices faster, by pulling in server information automatically. 

Record Type Host/Name IP Address/Record/Value
A autodiscover.[yourdomain.com]

69.28.212.213]

A

autoconfig.[yourdomain.com]
69.28.212.195
