Forwarders & aliases
Open Email → Forwarders to send mail from one address to another. Common uses:
- Forward
contact@yourdomain.comto your personal mailbox. - Catch-all forwarder for
*@yourdomain.com(use sparingly — it attracts spam).
The DNS records that matter
Email deliverability is mostly DNS. The panel shows the exact records to add — copy them into your DNS provider:
- MX — tells the world which server receives mail for your domain.
- SPF (TXT on root) — lists who is allowed to send mail as your domain.
- DKIM (TXT on a selector) — cryptographic signature so receivers can verify mail was not tampered with.
- DMARC (TXT on
_dmarc) — policy for what receivers should do when SPF or DKIM fail.
Testing
After publishing the records, send a message to check-auth@verifier.port25.com from your domain. The reply will tell you whether SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are passing.
Skip DKIM and your mail will likely land in Gmail’s spam. The panel signs every outgoing message, but only if the DKIM TXT record is published.
