How to Set Up Your Own Domain on Mxsec Servers

By Anders Yuran - 04/10/2026 - 0 comments

Prerequisite: You must be able to manage DNS records for your domain (or have your DNS provider/registrar do it for you).

The following DNS records must be added to your domain's DNS configuration:

Type	Host / Name	Value / Points To
A Record	`mail.yourdomain.com`	Mxsec Mail Server IP (provided in your activation email)
A Record	`webmail.yourdomain.com`	Mxsec Server IP (provided in your activation email)
MX Record	`yourdomain.com` (or `@`)	`mail.yourdomain.com` (Priority: 10)
TXT Record	`dkim._domainkey.yourdomain.com`	DKIM public key (provided in your activation email)
TXT Record	`_dmarc.yourdomain.com`	DMARC policy record (provided in your activation email)
TXT Record	`yourdomain.com` (or `@`)	SPF authorization record (provided in your activation email)

Note: Once your new DNS settings have fully propagated, we will finalize setting up your new email accounts.

Start Using Webmail
Once your password is updated, your webmail account is active and ready to use.

If you prefer to use an email app instead of webmail, use the following server settings:
