You must configure an MX record in your domain's DNS to enable secure mail delivery through the Avanan relay infrastructure.

To configure the relay MX record:

  1. Go to Security Settings > Relay > Domains.

  2. Click the icon for the required domain.

  3. Select Configure MX.

  4. In the Set Up Relay MX pop-up that appears, follow the instructions below:

    DNS Record Example:

    Host

    cpmails.test.com

    Value

    Add the value based on your region, see Supported Regions

    TTL

    1 hour
    Note:

    This configuration applies only to the relay subdomain (for example, cpmail.example.com) and does not modify your main domain's MX record.

  5. After the record is added to your domain's DNS, click Verify to confirm the configuration.
