Configuring the DNS Before you can use you server as a mail server, you have to specify how users and other applications will access it. It is done via DNS records. Whether you use Hosterra's name servers or those of another provider, the settings are strictly the same. If your domain is example.com , you have to create the following records: Type: CNAME Host:  mail Value:  example.com. Type: CNAME Host:  webmail Value:  example.com. Type:  MX Host:  example.com.   Value:  mail.example.com Priority:  0
