This topic describes how to configure DNS records for third-party domains to use Alibaba Mail.
After you activate Alibaba Mail, you must configure domain name resolution for the domain name that is associated with your mailbox. You can send and receive emails only after the DNS records take effect.
If your DNS server is not provided by Alibaba Cloud, copy the following DNS record information and provide it to your domain name provider. They can guide you through the configuration.
Managing domain name resolution | Record type | Priority | Record value |
@ | MX | 5 | mx1.qiye.aliyun.com |
@ | MX | 10 | mx2.qiye.aliyun.com |
@ | MX | 15 | mx3.qiye.aliyun.com |
pop3 | CNAME | - | pop.qiye.aliyun.com |
