Here you can find out how to proceed if your domain is registered with another provider and you only want to use e-mail traffic via Emubox:
Customize name server
If you do not require any other services related to your domain apart from email (e.g. no website either), we recommend that you register the Emubox nameservers with your domain provider on your domain.
What are the Emubox nameservers?
Customize DNS records
If you operate a website via another provider and only want to use email traffic at Emubox, you will need to make adjustments to the DNS zone.
You can usually find the DNS zone at your website provider. The following entries must be adjusted there:
| Type | Host | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX | @ | mail.emubox.ch | 3600 |
| CNAME | webmail | ihre-eigene-domain.ch | 3600 |
| SRV | Service: _imaps Protocol: _tcp Priority: 0 Weight: 0 Port: 993 Target: mail.emubox.ch | 300 | |
| SRV | Service: _pop3 Protocol: _tcp Priority: 0 Weight: 0 Port: 995 Target: mail.emubox.ch | 300 | |
| SRV | Service: _smtps Protocol: _tcp Priority: 0 Weight: 0 Port: 465 Target: mail.emubox.ch | 300 | |
| TXT | @ | v=spf1 redirect=spf.mail.emubox.ch | 300 |
-
The MX records are there to direct your email traffic to Emubox.
-
The CNAME entries ensure that the email program in which you set up the email address automatically finds our server settings.
-
The SPF entry is used to protect your own domain from forged senders and phishing abuse.
