For your Liberation Email or Hub for Teams mailboxes to send and receive at your own domain, the domain needs the DNS records below. If your domain uses our default nameservers and was set up by us, these are already in place. If your domain’s DNS is somewhere else (GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Wix, your own cPanel, etc.), add them there.
lts-verification=) and sometimes a DKIM record. These are shown in the Client Area under My Services > Hub for Teams > Manage > Hub Domains for your domain, or we send them to you. Add those exactly as given.The records
| Type | Hostname | Value | Priority | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MX | @ | mx1.liberation.email | 10 | 3600 |
| MX | @ | mx2.liberation.email | 10 | 3600 |
| TXT | @ | v=spf1 include:_spf.liberation.email -all | 3600 | |
| CNAME | autoconfig | mail.liberation.email | 3600 | |
| CNAME | autodiscover | mail.liberation.email | 3600 | |
| SRV | _autodiscover._tcp | 10 443 mail.liberation.email (weight 10, port 443) | 10 | 3600 |
@ means your domain itself (for example yourdomain.com). The MX, SPF and autoconfig records make email arrive and keep it out of spam; the autoconfig, autodiscover and SRV records let Outlook, Apple Mail and phones set up your account automatically. Some DNS providers show the SRV value as a single line: 10 10 443 mail.liberation.email (priority, weight, port, target).
You also need your domain's unique verification TXT record (it starts with lts-verification=), shown in the Hub manager under Hub Domains.
Already sending from another service?
You can only have one SPF record. If you already have one (for example from Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Brevo or your website’s mail service), add include:_spf.liberation.email to it instead of creating a second one. For example:v=spf1 include:_spf.liberation.email include:_spf.google.com ~all
Check your setup
- Go to MXToolbox, type your domain and choose MX Lookup. You should see only
mx1.liberation.emailandmx2.liberation.email. - Run an SPF Record Lookup. You should see exactly one record that includes
_spf.liberation.email. - If you see any other MX records, including one that points to your own domain (a default left behind by old hosting), delete them. Extra MX records are the number-one cause of "some emails never arrive".
