What to add in the bot
Open My domains → domain → DNS settings.1
Add MX records
For the root domain, tap Skip. Send the priority and server together, for example
10 mx1.provider.com. Add each MX separately.2
Add the verification record
The email provider may give you TXT or CNAME. Copy the name and value exactly. CNAME verification records often need DNS only.
3
Add SPF and DKIM
These are TXT records. Always use the values shown by your email provider.
4
Add DMARC
This is usually a TXT record named
_dmarc. Follow the provider’s recommended initial policy and reporting address.5
Verify at the provider
Return to the email dashboard and run its domain verification after creating the records.
Common mistakes
- Two SPF records exist on the root domain. Merge them into one record.
- Extra quotation marks were added to a TXT value.
- An MX value was entered without its priority.
- An A or CNAME record for
mailis still proxied. Email traffic needs DNS only. - Records were added in Lumi while the domain uses external nameservers. Update DNS at the current provider instead.
MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC values are provider-specific. Do not copy values from unrelated examples.
