Domains & DNS
Connect a domain and pass DNS checks
MailStrap hosts email for domains you own. To connect one:
- 1Go to Domains and choose Add domain.
- 2If your DNS is hosted on Cloudflare, connect your Cloudflare account and we push every record automatically.
- 3Otherwise, add the records we show you at your DNS host: an MX record for receiving, SPF and DKIM records so your mail authenticates, and a DMARC policy.
Every record has a copy button. After adding them, hit Verify. Checks usually pass within minutes; DNS can occasionally take up to an hour to propagate.
If a check stays red, the most common causes are a typo in the record value, a duplicate SPF record (a domain may only have one), or a proxy setting on the record (DNS records for mail must be DNS-only, not proxied).
