Domain ownership must be verified before mail will be delivered through Sophos Central. To verify domain ownership, you need to add a TXT record to your domain. Adding this record will not affect your email or other services.
- Click Verify Domain Ownership.
- Use the details given in Verify Domain Ownership to
add the TXT record to your Domain Name Server (DNS).Note This can take up to ten minutes to take effect.
- Click Verify.Caution You cannot save an unverified domain. You must correct any issues with the domain ownership verification.
- Select the direction you want to configure the domain for. If you select Inbound and Outbound you will need to select an outbound gateway from the drop-down list. If you select Custom Gateway, at least one IP/CIDR (subnet range) is required. Enter the IP and CIDR and click Add. You can add multiple IP addresses/ranges.
- Select whether you wish to use a mail host or a mail exchange (MX) record in the Inbound destination drop-down list.
Note You must use a mail exchange record if you want to use multiple destinations.
- If you selected Mail Host enter an IP address or an FQDN (fully-qualified domain name) in the IP/FQDN text field. Example: 111.111.11.111 or mymail@example.com.
- If you selected MX enter an FQDN in the MX text field. Example: mymail@example.com.
- In the Port text field enter the port information for your email domain.
