MX Records for Business Email

If you have signed up for Business Email but will configuring your own DNS in an external system, below are the DNS records you will need.

Your MX record should have a priority of 0 and be set to the following (replacing the "example.com" portion with your own domain name):

mx.example.com.cust.b.hostedemail.com

You will also want an SPF record configured.  An SPF record is a TXT type record, and should be set with this content:

v=spf1 include:_spf.hostedemail.com ~all

If you have other mail services as well, you may just need to insert the "include:_spf.hostedemail.com" portion into your existing SPF record.

For best deliverability you should also have a DKIM record.  DKIM records are unique and we will provide your unique DKIM details when we get your account set up.
