Adding records where DNS isn't managed

Records must go in the authoritative DNS zone, which may be different from where you bought the domain.

Two DKIM values under one selector

Titan rejects more than one TXT value under the same DKIM selector. Paste exactly the value from the control panel.

Porkbun: CNAME hosts must be unique

A CNAME's Host can't be empty and can't be shared with any other record on the domain.

Titan Email on Porkbun: questions

Where do I add Titan Email DNS records in Porkbun?

Open Domain Management (ACCOUNT, then Domain Management). Click the DNS button under your domain, or Details and then the edit icon under DNS RECORDS. Add each record there, one at a time.

What goes in the Host field at Porkbun?

Leave it empty for records on your bare domain, such as MX and SPF. For the others, enter only the part before your domain, for example _dmarc. Porkbun adds your domain automatically.

Do I need to delete my existing MX records at Porkbun?

Yes. Sending servers pick an MX record by its priority (lowest number first) and fall back to the others, so a leftover MX record can receive some or all of your mail. Keep only the Titan Email MX records and delete the rest.

How long until Titan Email works on Porkbun?

Titan says new MX and TXT records can take up to 6 hours to go live. Your domain shows as Verified in the Titan control panel once they do.
