Common Records for Email

MX Records

Point your domain's incoming email to OnePoundEmail's servers.

Type   Host   Value                          Priority
MX     @      server.hostname.net            10
MX     @      server-relay.hostname.net      20

SPF Record

Authorises OnePoundEmail servers to send mail on behalf of your domain.

Type   Host   Value
TXT    @      v=spf1 include:mxroute.com ~all

DKIM Record

Your DKIM key is generated automatically. Find it in DirectAdmin under E-Mail Manager > DomainKeys and add it as a TXT record at your registrar if it is not already present.

Tips

• Only edit records you understand. Incorrect changes can break email delivery.
• If your domain's DNS is managed at your registrar (not in DirectAdmin), you will need to log in to your registrar to make changes.
• Use the Managing DNS Records guide for the full recommended setup.
