How to connect your third party email to your Rebel domain

If your email is hosted with a third-party provider, you’ll need to point your Rebel DNS to the correct mail records to ensure everything sends and receives properly. Please ensure that you have the necessary DNS records from your mail host before following the steps in this article.

Follow the steps below to set up your email:

Step 1.

Log in to your Rebel account, select "Products" in the top left corner. In the top toolbar, you will see "Domains". Please select this.

Step 2.

For the domain you’d like to access DNS settings for, select “Manage” on the right-hand side.

Step 3.

In the upper left side, you will see the two words "Contacts", "DNS" and "Domain Options". Select the "DNS" tab.

Step 4.

Scroll down to Manage Advanced DNS Records and click on "Advanced DNS Manager" on the right-hand side.

Step 5.

To add your MX record, click the button showing "Add Record" in the upper right.

Step 6.

Click the drop-down and set the Record Type as "MX".

Step 7.

Enter the required details for the DNS record in the “Host” and “Points to” fields.

Host: Enter the subdomain or record name
Points to: Enter the destination value provided by your hosting or email provider.

If the record includes a priority value, enter the appropriate number in the “Priority” field. The TTL field can be left as the default if no information is provided.

Once all required information has been entered, select “Add Record” to save the DNS record.

If your mail host provides you with a SPF, DKIM, or DMARC record, please add it as a TXT record and enter the required details for the DNS record in the “Host” and “Points to” fields.

Host: Enter the subdomain or record name (for example, @ for the root domain or www for a www record).
Points to: Enter the destination value provided by your hosting or email provider.

The TTL field can be left as the default if no information is provided.
