Even if your domain is registered with another provider, it is still possible to use e-mail services with us. This is done by adjusting your domain’s MX records.
What MX records should I use?
- Subdomain– @
- Value – mx10.websupport.se
- Priority – 10
- TTL – 600
- Subdomain– @
- Value – mx20.websupport.se
- Priority – 100
- TTL – 600
Remember that it takes up to 24 hours before this takes effect. You also need to manually move any emails from previous providers as these are not included automatically. Here is a guide for moving emails to us.
SPF record (Added as TXT)
- Subdomain– @
- Value – v=spf1 a mx include:spf.websupport.se ?all
- TTL – 600
We recommend taking the opportunity to add the SPF record in connection with adding the MX records. Partly to secure your domain from spoofing attempts, but also to increase delivery security. You can read more about this in our guide to SPF records.
DMARC record (Added as TXT)
- Subdomain – _dmarc
- Value – v=DMARC1; p=quarantine
- TTL – 600
More and more major email providers have, to varying degrees, started requiring that a DMARC record is set up on the domain name in order for email to be delivered correctly. A DMARC record can be configured in different ways that serve different purposes. The settings above use the bare minimum, which is perfectly adequate for the vast majority. If you want to read more about what purpose DMARC serves and how it can be configured, you can do so here: https://easydmarc.com/blog/dmarc-best-practices/
