I just purchased mail domain service to my new domain.
Domain was registered in GoDaddy, mail domain purchased also in goDaddy( looks like outlook365)
But Nameservers are routed to Google nameservers, because hosting is in Google Cloud
I already did all setup in Google DNS Cloud yesterday, but still unable to continue to complete email setup in GoDaddy portal.
Before we can finish setting up your account, we need to verify that you own domain>
Sorry, we can't verify your settings, yet. It can take up to 24 hours for us to detect the update. Please double-check you entered the information correctly, and try again in a bit.
Here are my screenshots from GCP DNS
So I am not sure if I did correctly all settings in Cloud DNS.
Can you plese check my conf in GCP DNS ?
Specially I am not sure if I've filled correctly SRV, TXT data fields,
So I receive this conf info from Godaddy : how to setup >
1)
TXT Record: Find where to add a TXT record and enter
Name TXT Value
# MS=ms5789897
# v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all

Ok, finally mail setup is done. :)
Issue was TXT verification, I got multiple TXT records in DNS before...FIxed, so feel free to remove this topic :)

I cannot get email forwarding from my godaddy domain to my gmail. When I send an email to the address, I get the email (from my gmail only) and a message saying address not found.
Setup is:
Godaddy domain and emailforwarding
Netlify to mangage the DNS (it's where the site it managed too)
SMTP2GO to manage email sending an configuration
In GoDaddy, the MX settings are active with the green tickmark showing.
In Netlify, I have input the MX records from GoDaddy.
In SMTP2GO, the SPF and DKIM records are verified.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
If netlify is managing DNS, then the MX records in Godaddy are ignored. You can tell this by using whois:
$ whois fools.website | grep -i "name server"
Name Server: DNS1.P05.NSONE.NET
Name Server: DNS2.P05.NSONE.NET
Name Server: DNS3.P05.NSONE.NET
Name Server: DNS4.P05.NSONE.NET
Netlify's nameservers all match the same pattern of DNSx.P0X.NSONE.NET
If your whois lookup returns similar results, you'll want to instead configure everything you have in your DNS settings in Godaddy at Netlify's DNS config, usually https://app.netlify.com/account/dns/domain.name (where you replace domain.name with your actual domain name like mynetlifysite.com)
If your whois records look more like this:
$ whois godaddysite.com | grep -i "name server"
Name Server: PDNS03.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Name Server: PDNS04.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Then you'd want to work with Godaddy's support on why the records aren't working as expected since they do host/manage your DNS.
Point Godaddy's DNS to Netlify. Then from Netlify, add MX record of SMTP2GO. Lastly, create alias from STMP2GO that points to your Gmail email address. In my case, I'm using Namecheap instead of Godaddy and ImprovMX instead of SMTP2GO. I posted this here

I have a domain name, mysite.com registered with a provider at ns1.dnsprovider.com and ns2.dnsprovider.com.
mysite.com is a Wordpress site on WHM/cPanel at IP: 111.222.333.444
I can set my DNS records at DNSProvider to point at 111.222.333.444 for the websites - no problem. I also need to set up email facilities.
This I'm struggling with. I'm simply running the standard Exim package in cPanel.
I figure I need to set up an A record mail.mysite.com for IP 111.222.333.444 but I also need to set up MX records. Would this be to mail.mysite.com with priority 0 and 10?
Also what about DKIM and SPF records? What would I need to enter?
First a quick note: If the mail server is on the same IP address you do not need the extra A record, since there is already an A record the MX record can use.
As for the MX record, it depends on what the mail addresses will be. For the one you mentioned the mail addresses will be user#mail.example.com, if you want them to be user#example.com, then the MX record must be for example.com, like this:
# MX 10 mail.example.com.
Where mail.example.com is the extra A record you wanted to create, you can also point the record to example.com, since it has an A record pointed to the IP of the mail server.
Now for the SPF record it depends on which servers will be send mails on behalf of your domain. If only your server (this includes your web site, since they are on the same IP) the SPF record can be like this:
# TXT "v=spf1 a -all"
This allows the IP of your A record to send mails and "forbids" everybody else.
The DKIM record is in the following format:
default._domainkey TXT "v=DKIM1; p=yourPublicKey"
You should generate yourPublicKey and also a private key, with which you will sign your mails (note that you can simply skip the whole DKIM part)
Have searched everywhere, can't find answer.
I have the domain mydomain.com. The root and www records point to my main server, which runs my website.
I am now using a separate AWS ec2 instance to set up an email server for my domain. This is running on the subdomain mail.
My dns looks like this:
A # webserverip
A www webserverip
A mail ec2ip
To prevent my server from getting flagged for spam, I submitted the amazon reverse dns form here: https://aws.amazon.com/forms/ec2-email-limit-rdns-request
I gave them the ip of my ec2 mail server, and put "mail.mydomain.com" in the "Reverse DNS Record for EIP 1" box.
However, I keep receiving emails back from them saying:
When attempting to map the reverse DNS entry, we notice that this is failing because the PTR record doesn't match the A record for that domain.
We currently require the forward A record to match the PTR record for all reverse DNS entries.
I really don't understand what I am doing wrong. The "mail" subdomain has an A record pointing to my ec2 server ip. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
(I am using cloudflare for my dns if this makes any difference)
You can follow these steps to configure the DNS for your EC2 dedicated mail server on AWS:
STEPS
Add two A host records for pop.mydomain.com and
smtp.mydomain.com that point to your elastic IP and assign your
MX record to the smtp.mydomain.com host.
Add a CNAME record (not A host record) for mail.mydomain.com that points to the DNS entry assigned by AWS (e.g., ec2-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.REGION.compute.amazonaws.com).
Submit your rDNS request for smtp.mydomain.com mapping to your EIP.
Don't forget to add the SPF TXT record for your mail server. For example, v=spf1 mx a
Once you're done with this setup, you should have a proper mail server configuration in terms of DNS that would pass SMTP tests and avoids being flagged as spam.
I have a problem with DNS setup (I guess).
For now, I setup with success:
Domain for web (on ovh -> points to heroku server).
Outbound emails (mailgun service)
The only thing that left, is how to setup Inbound email DNS to another server (in my case,
that will be linuxpl.com but in fact it is not important I guess).
What DNS records should I set, to achieve that. So emails sended to test#domain.com,
will get to the last email server.
Thanks in advance for any help.
The solution was to add proper MX entry and wait:
In my case:
domain.com. 0 MX 10 s87.linuxpl.com.
I'm very confused by the fundamentals of DNS records (in this case MX records). Right now I have registered a domain name (let's call it example.com). This domain is configured to my linode's IP via their nameservers.
The default MX record that is in the Domain Manager is 'mail.example.com'. Fair enough.
I followed this tutorial about setting up a exim server.
Exim Tutorial in Linode Library
and I'm kind of confused. My default hostname on the machine is 'antares' and thus the FQDN is 'antares.example.com'. In this tutorial I don't see how this 'mail.example.com' is coming into play? Where do I specify this? Or should I point the mail MX record to antares.example.com?
I'm very new to DNS records and even more new to mail records. Any hints to clarify my misunderstanding would be invaluable.
the DNS server for your domain will by default serve up the www or .domain.com entry to web browsers etc but it actually hosts a bunch of name pointers for other services, one of which is mail exchange.
Services which need your mx record value know how to look it up from your DNS server, so in this case they will find mail.domain.com when you supply the domain.com part.
If you need to set up a mail server you will need to change the mx record in your domain manager to point to your machine ip, this can be different from your default www host name/ip on the same domain as every service can be served by a different host (any ip).
