Create a MX record
Use the table and instructions below to create a DNS record to verify a domain that is registered at your domain name registrar. For general instructions about verifying a domain, see Verify a domain at any domain name registrar.

Host name Points to address TTL
{0} {1} {2}

To create a MX record to enable %BRAND_ONLINE_SERVICES_DYNAMIC% to verify your domain, do the following.

  1. Sign in to your domain name registrar's website, and then select the domain that you're verifying.
  2. In the DNS management area for your account, select the option to add a MX record for your domain.
  3. In the Host or Host name box for the domain, type or paste {0}.
  4. In the Points to or Address box, type or paste {1}.
  5. Where it asks for TTL information, type {2} to set TTL to 1 hour.
  6. Where it asks for a priority (or preference), type a number that is larger than the number you've specified for existing MX records. This can help prevent the new MX record from interfering with mail routing for the domain. Instead of a priority, you may see the following options: Low, Medium, High. In this scenario, choose Low.
  7. Save your changes, and then sign out of your domain name registrar's website.
After you create the MX record and sign out of the website, return to %BRAND_ONLINE_SERVICES_DYNAMIC% to verify the domain.
