Notes on each record
What Hostinger Email's documentation says about each record, in one place.
MX MX records
- Hostinger's manual guide uses the host's default TTL.
SPF SPF record
- Keep a single SPF record. If you also use a marketing or sending service, merge it into the same line, for example v=spf1 include:_spf.mail.hostinger.com include:emailmktprovider.tld ~all.
- When moving DNS manually, delete any old SPF record before adding this one.
DMARC DMARC record
- Replace the report address with a mailbox you read.
Common Hostinger Email mistakes
Adding a second SPF record
Hostinger says a domain should have a single SPF record. Merge every sender into one line.
Adding only one DKIM record
Hostinger Email uses three DKIM CNAME records: hostingermail-a, -b and -c. Add all three.
