For VumaMail to work with your domain, you need to update your domain's DNS records.
Required DNS records:
MX Record (mail delivery):
| Priority | Host | Points to |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | @ | mail.vumacloud.com |
AutoDiscover Record (automatic client configuration — essential):
| Type | Host | Points to |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | autodiscover | mail.vumacloud.com |
This AutoDiscover record is critical — it's what allows Outlook, iPhone, and Android to configure themselves automatically when a user enters their email address and password.
SPF Record (prevent spam spoofing):
| Type | Host | Value |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | @ | v=spf1 include:vumacloud.com ~all |
DKIM Record: Your unique DKIM record is available in your VumaMail admin panel under Settings → Domain Authentication. Copy the TXT record value and add it to your DNS.
DMARC Record (recommended):
| Type | Host | Value |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | _dmarc | v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com |
Where to update DNS:
- If your domain is registered with VumaCloud, manage DNS from your client portal.
- If your domain is elsewhere, log in to your domain registrar's control panel and update the records there.
DNS changes typically take 15 minutes to 48 hours to propagate globally.
