How to create Yandex.Mail for Domain?
Yandex.Mail for Domain can help you maintain the image of your company. An email address with a company domain has a more professional and trustworthy look.
- To create Yandex Mail for domain, go to the Yandex Mai page, login to your account or create a new one.
2. Next, create a new organization for which you want to connect a domain.
3. Navigate to your new organization and add your domain by entering its name.
4. Now verify your domain. Yandex offers you several options for that. We recommend verifying via a DNS record.
5. Configure the DNS record for your domain
- On your registrar’s website, go to the section for managing the DNS zone and find your domain in the list
- Go to the section for managing DNS records and create a new TXT record
- If the name of the subdomain or host is required, enter the @ symbol
- In the main field, enter the record value: yandex-verification: provided value
- If you need to specify a TTL, enter 21600
6. Make sure that the domain is verified. Wait until the DNS records of your domain are updated. This may take up to 72 hours. After verifying the domain, you can start importing mailboxes right away. But you need to configure MX records anyway.
7. Delete existing MX records that have been configured for your domain, if you have one.
8. Create a new MX record in the DNS records section
- Value: mx.yandex.net. (important: server name must end with a dot)
- Priority: 10 (If you can not set 10, set other than zero)
- Subdomain name (Host): @ (or your domain name (such as example.com), if you are unable to set this, leave blank)
- TTL: 21600 (if you need to specify this)
9. Configure DKIM signatures. It will help prevent your messages from being flagged as spam.
10. Now you can add more mailboxes. Go to Users and add a new one.
11. You can start using your mailbox after your MX record is updated. Your MX record will not be updated right away. The process can take up to 72 hours.
