  • Updated

If you've signed up for a business email with Titan, there are a few steps before you begin sending professional emails. Below are the steps that you need to follow to setup Titan for your domain.

1. Setup MX and TXT records

2. Setup DKIM record

3. Setup DMARC record


1. Setup MX and TXT records

Connecting your domain to Titan so that messages sent to your domain are received by your business email on Titan. This is done by configuring your MX and TXT records to point to Titan.

MX and TXT records are DNS records that allow you to send and receive emails through a particular email server (In this case, the Titan Mail server).

3. Setup DMARC record
