A hostname, combination of optional subdomain and mandatory domain, may be configured to act as an e-mail domain, ie. receive e-mails on that host. These hostnames are added via Mail<\/strong> >\u00a0Mail Routing<\/strong>. For any domain present there, the server will act as the final destination bypassing MX lookups. This will result in problems if you use third-party<\/a> MX records.<\/p>\n

The following is a brief list of composite examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
E-mail addresses for user myuser<\/i><\/b><\/caption>\n
Subdomain<\/th>\nDomain<\/th>\nHostname<\/th>\nValid e-mail<\/th>\nNotes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
<\/td>\nmydomain.com<\/td>\nmydomain.com<\/td>\nmyuser@mydomain.com<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
foo<\/td>\nmydomain.com<\/td>\nfoo.mydomain.com<\/td>\nmyuser@foo.mydomain.com<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
foo<\/td>\n<\/td>\n“foo”<\/td>\n<\/td>\nInvalid<\/strong>, non-FQDN<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nmyotherdomain.com<\/td>\nmyuser@myotherdomain.com<\/td>\nmyotherdomain.com<\/td>\nE-mail delivers to same inbox unless namespaced<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Once a hostname is authorized through Mail Routing, corresponding DNS entries are created and will be active so long as you use our hosting nameservers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Third-party nameserver DNS<\/h3>\n

If you use third-party nameservers – nameservers other than ours<\/a> – use the following\u00a0DNS template to properly route mail once a hostname is added in Mail Routing:<\/p>\n
