Question Plesk Webmail DNS Settings

[ZeroOne]

Hey Lovely Community,

I have a Problem, I want to use Plesk Webmail, but I cant resive Incoming E-Mails. I dont know how the DNS of Cloudflare should be set, so that my Webmail Works.
Can somebody please help me with these Records? What do I have to add to the DNS? etc.

Thanks
Cheers
Felix

The most important thing for email when using CloudFlare is NOT to enable CF Proxy for any of the DNS records you need for email. As for what DNS records you'll need, I'd suggest adding to following records.

Create two A type records, one named mail and the other one named webmail and point them both to the IP address of your server.

If your server has IP6 configured you should create two AAAA type records aswell. Again one named mail and the other one named webmail and point them both to the IP6 address of your server.

Then create a MX type record with a priority value of 10 and mail.example.com as the mail server value. (Replace the example.com with your own domain).

Thats basically it. Just remember to NOT use the PROXY any of these DNS records. Additionally, and highly recommended, you should create an SPF record.

How about to assure delivery and avoid ending up in the spam folder, should the TXT I see in my domain's DNS records be included in CloudFlare? The ones that start with "v=spf1" and such.
