Rasel MailSet up receiving DNS records
Understand MX, TXT, root-domain and subdomain records.
Editorial update: October 30, 2026In this guide
Use your own domain’s values
After ownership verification, Rasel Mail groups required records into root-domain and subdomain lists. Copy the type, name, value and priority where present. Record counts and values can vary; do not use another domain’s fixed record list.
What the records do
| Type | Purpose | Important detail |
|---|---|---|
| MX | Directs incoming mail to a mail server. | Enter the server hostname and priority in separate fields. |
| Verification TXT | Verifies domain setup with the mail service. | Preserve the complete displayed value. |
| SPF / DKIM / DMARC | Authentication and policy records included in setup. | Use TXT or CNAME exactly as indicated for each record. |
| CNAME | Aliases a subdomain name to the requested destination. | Do not add https or a slash to the target. |
The @ name and root domain
Many panels use @ to mean the domain root. In Dynadot, root records belong under Domain Record; do not create a Subhost named @. Names such as _dmarc or selector._domainkey belong under subdomain records. Use the displayed full saved name to check the result.
Verify after saving
Save all records and run receiving verification. MX alone may not complete the check; review every displayed record. Plan migration before replacing another service’s MX: leaving unrelated services together is not a reliable backup setup.
