    Configuring the DNS records of a subdomain for use of the VPS mailservice?

    When using the wizard for our VPS mailservice it is not possible to use this for automatically setting the DNS records for a subdomain. You could however be wanting to send mail via a specific subdomain. Additionally, the hostname of your server is usually a subdomain and could be used to send certain 'automatic' mails or PHP forms.

    How do I configure the necessary DNS records in the control panel?
    sub domain DNS-settings overview

    To set the DNS records for the mailservice in our control panel, you basically only need to copy the original records and add .[YOURSUBDOMAIN] after. If the example below are the DNS records for the mailservice:

    @	5 Min 	TXT	v=spf1 include:_spf.transip.email ~all
    transip-a._domainkey	5 Min 	CNAME	_dkim-A.transip.email.
    transip-b._domainkey	5 Min 	CNAME	_dkim-B.transip.email.
    transip-c._domainkey	5 Min 	CNAME	_dkim-C.transip.email.
    x-transip-mail-auth	5 Min 	TXT	c074e69e4c8d82ff810a47e81d11ca

    Then the following records could be used voor setting up the mailservice for the subdomain 'subdomain':

    subdomain 	5 Min 	TXT	v=spf1 include:_spf.transip.email ~all
    transip-a._domainkey.subdomain 	5 Min 	CNAME	_dkim-A.transip.email.
    transip-b._domainkey.subdomain 	5 Min 	CNAME	_dkim-B.transip.email.
    transip-c._domainkey.subdomain 	5 Min 	CNAME	_dkim-C.transip.email.
    x-transip-mail-auth.subdomain 	5 Min 	TXT	c074e69e4c8d82ff810a47e81d11ca

    Of course you need to replace subdomain for the subdomain you want to use and you will also need to change the "x-transip-mail-auth" code to your own. In this article (step 9) we explain where you can find your x-transip-mail-auth record.

    • Because DNS settings are being cached, it can take some time before these changes are propagated.
    • Your subdomain has to be reachable by DNS (in other words it has to have an 'A'-record), otherwise these records can not be validated!
