DNS records for email

For SiteLyra email to work, the domain's DNS must contain these records.

If DNS is with us

This is the normal case: the records are already there. If you removed or changed them, add them back from Domains → domain name → Manage DNS → ⋮ menu → Apply template → SiteLyra email → Add the records (see DNS templates).

If DNS is managed elsewhere

Add these records with whoever manages the domain's DNS (in the "Name" column, @ is the domain itself):

TypeNameValuePriority
MX@mx.sitelyra.it10
MX@fallbackmx.sitelyra.it20
TXT@v=spf1 mx include:spf.sitelyra.it ~all
CNAMEposta._domainkeyposta._domainkey.sitelyra.it
TXT_dmarcv=DMARC1; p=none;
  • MX: tell which server receives the domain's email. Remove any MX records from a previous provider.
  • SPF (TXT): says which servers may send email for the domain. You need only one: if there is already one, add include:spf.sitelyra.it to it.
  • DKIM (CNAME): signs outgoing messages, so they don't end up in spam.
  • DMARC (TXT): tells recipients what to do with messages that fail SPF and DKIM.

DNS changes can take from a few minutes to a few hours to spread.
