Other DNS Providers

Connect to your DNS provider's dashboard

Connect to your DNS provider's dashboard and locate the DNS management section for your domain.

1. Set the MX record

Find the MX records section for your domain.

Delete any existing MX records and add the following records:

Type
Name/Host
Value
Priority
MX
@ or leave blank
mx1.mailcast.io.
10
MX
@ or leave blank
mx2.mailcast.io.
20

2. Set the SPF record

Find the TXT records section for your domain.

Look for a TXT record with your domain (often shown as @ or blank) and content that begins with v=spf1.

Update an existing SPF record

If you find an existing SPF record, update it by adding include:spf.mailcast.io after the v=spf1 and before the rest of the record, separated with a space on either side.

Add a new SPF record

If no SPF record exists, add a new TXT record with these values:

Type
Name/Host
Value/Content
TXT
@ or leave blank
"v=spf1 include:spf.mailcast.io ~all"

3. Set the DKIM record

This is only necessary if you have enabled sending on your domain.

Add a new CNAME record with these values:

Type
Name/Host
Value
CNAME
mailcast._domainkey
dkim.mailcast.io

4. Set the DMARC record

This is only necessary if you have enabled sending on your domain.

Find the TXT records section and look for a record with _dmarc as the name/host.

If you already have a DMARC record, then there is no need to update it.

This is a minimal DMARC record that will suggest that unauthorised emails sent from your domain are marked as spam. Learn more about DMARC to help you decide how to configure your DMARC policy.

Add a new TXT record with these values:

Type
Name/Host
Value
TXT
_dmarc
"v=DMARC1; p=quarantine;"
