1. MX Records


The first step in configuring your DNS is updating your MX records. MX records tell the world which server should receive e-mails destined for your domain, and deliver it to you. You can usually update the MX records for your domain from the same Control Panel you use for managing your DNS. You can safely keep your website hosted with another provider and only use our hosting services for the e-mail.

You should first remove all other MX records and then add the following, with the specified preference:

Name

Preference

mx.emailarray.com

      5

mx2.emailarray.com

     10



Note
titleImportant

It is not recommended to create CNAME records within your domain that point to EmailArray MX records and using those CNAME as your MX records.



2. Webmail Record


In order to access your webmail and take advantage of our Branding features, you must configure CNAME records within your domain for the webmail host.

You must create:


CNAME

Forwards to

webmail.<yourdomain.com>

webredirect.emailarray.com


3. SPF Record


This will help with your email deliverability because the SPF record specifies a list of authorized hosts that can send e-mails on behalf of a domain.

You must add a TXT record with the following value (host is usually '@'):

v=spf1 include:emailarray.com -all


4. DKIM Records


If you wan to enable DKIM, you can set up DKIM for your domain from your Admin Panel and then add the records to your DNS.

5. Autodiscover Records (optional)


In order to simplify the configuration of modern e-mail clients such as Outlook and Thunderbird, as well as all your mobile devices, &nbsp;you can now use our Autodiscover & Autoconfig web services to automatically configure these clients. You have to add two *A*&nbsp;records in the DNS for your domain:


Basic and Enhanced Accounts:

A record hostname

Points to

autodiscover.<yourdomain.com>

69.28.212.195

autoconfig.<yourdomain.com>

69.28.212.195


Exchange Accounts:

A record hostname

Points to

autodiscover.<yourdomain.com>

69.172.250.30

autoconfig.<yourdomain.com>

69.172.250.30

Tip

Visit the "Autodiscover & Autoconfig" page for more information
