Add your email records at Hostinger

1. 1Sign in to hPanel and select your domain under Domains.
2. 2Open the DNS / Nameservers page and scroll to the list of DNS records.
3. 3For each record, choose the type, fill in the fields and press Add Record.

• Type: the record type.
• Name: the relative name; @ for the domain itself.
• Points to or Content: the record value (the server name for MX).
• Priority: MX only.
• TTL: the default is fine.

Add the records in this order. The values in the tables are examples that show the format; copy the values for your domain from the Mühür Mail dashboard.

1. 1.

   Ownership record (TXT)

   Required

   Proves the domain is yours. The name is _muhur; the value is the text starting with muhur-verify= in your dashboard. Once ownership is proven, you can create mailboxes.

   ExampleOwnership record (TXT): example records

   Type	Name	Value
   TXT	_muhur	muhur-verify=… Value is in your dashboard

2. 2.

   MX records

   Required

   Make email sent to your domain arrive at Mühür Mail. The name is @, the domain itself; enter the server name and priority for each MX. If you are moving from another provider, remove the old MX records once your mailboxes are ready in Mühür Mail.

   Delete Hostinger's own MX records once your mailboxes are ready in Mühür Mail.

   ExampleMX records: example records

   Type	Name	Value	Priority
   MX	@	mx1.muhurmail.com	10
   MX	@	mx2.muhurmail.com	20

3. 3.

   SPF record (TXT)

   Required

   States that Mühür Mail's servers may send on your behalf. A domain must have only one SPF record: if you already have one, don't add another; replace the existing record with the merged value suggested in the dashboard.

   ExampleSPF record (TXT): example records

   Type	Name	Value
   TXT	@	v=spf1 include:_spf.muhurmail.com ~all Value is in your dashboard

4. 4.

   DKIM record (CNAME or TXT)

   Required

   The key used to verify the signature on outgoing messages. The name looks like muhur1._domainkey. If the dashboard gives the record as a CNAME, add a CNAME; if it gives a TXT, add a TXT, and copy the value exactly. If a second selector (muhur2) is shown, add it too.

   ExampleDKIM record (CNAME or TXT): example records

   Type	Name	Value
   CNAME	muhur1._domainkey	muhur1.d….dkim.muhurmail.com Value is in your dashboard

5. 5.

   DMARC record (TXT)

   Recommended

   Tells receivers what to do with messages that fail SPF and DKIM, and sends reports to Mühür Mail. The name is _dmarc. If you already have a DMARC record, don't add a second one; you can change the policy later in the Mühür Mail dashboard.

   ExampleDMARC record (TXT): example records

   Type	Name	Value
   TXT	_dmarc	v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@muhurmail.com; adkim=r; aspf=r; fo=1

6. 6.

   MTA-STS records (CNAME and TXT)

   Recommended

   Asks senders to deliver email to your domain over an encrypted connection. Add a CNAME named mta-sts and a TXT named _mta-sts. Mühür Mail serves the policy file; copy the id in the TXT from the dashboard.

   ExampleMTA-STS records (CNAME and TXT): example records

   Type	Name	Value
   CNAME	mta-sts	mta-sts.muhurmail.com
   TXT	_mta-sts	v=STSv1; id=… Value is in your dashboard

7. 7.

   TLS-RPT record (TXT)

   Recommended

   Gives the address where problems with encrypted delivery are reported. The name is _smtp._tls.

   ExampleTLS-RPT record (TXT): example records

   Type	Name	Value
   TXT	_smtp._tls	v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:tlsrpt@muhurmail.com

8. 8.

   Email app records (CNAME)

   Optional

   Let apps such as Thunderbird and Outlook find the server settings on their own: CNAMEs named autoconfig and autodiscover. The dashboard also suggests SRV records for IMAP and SMTP; if your provider supports SRV records, you can add those too. These records are optional.

   ExampleEmail app records (CNAME): example records

   Type	Name	Value
   CNAME	autoconfig	autoconfig.muhurmail.com
   CNAME	autodiscover	autoconfig.muhurmail.com

• If you use Hostinger email, the domain has Hostinger's MX records and an SPF record. Delete the Hostinger MX records once your mailboxes are ready in Mühür Mail; don't add a second SPF record, use the merged value suggested in the dashboard.
• Menu names may vary between hPanel versions; the Hostinger help center article on managing DNS records shows the current screens.

After saving the records, press “Check” on your domain's page in the Mühür Mail dashboard. New records usually show up within a few minutes, occasionally a few hours. You can also see the status with the domain checker.
