Add MX records to your DNS
- Get your MX records
Sign up with your chosen email provider. During setup, they give you MX records that look something like this:
| Type | Name | Value | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX | @ |
mail.provider.com |
10 |
Copy them exactly. You’ll need them in the next step.
Open your DNS settings
If you bought your domain through Anything, go to anything.com/dashboard, click Domains, then Manage next to your domain. If you brought your own domain, log in to your registrar and find the DNS settings there.Add the MX records
Add each MX record exactly as your provider shows. Don’t remove your existing A and CNAME records. Those are for your app and have nothing to do with email.Wait for DNS to propagate
Changes take up to 24 hours to take effect. Once they do, your email address is live.
Your provider may also ask you to add TXT records for verification or spam protection (SPF and DKIM). Add those the same way, in the same DNS settings panel.
