1. Track Down the current MTA-STS and TLS RPT records and Delete them:
- Log in to your DNS hosting provider's control panel using your credentials.
- Locate the DNS management section or DNS settings.
- Search for the TXT or CNAME records associated with your current provider's setup.
- These three records will have
- "_mta-sts"
- "mta-sts"
- "_smtp._tls"
- Delete the current records for MTA-STS and TLS-RPT found in DNS:
2. Create three CNAME Record:
- Within your DNS control panel, look for an option to add or edit DNS records.
- Select "CNAME Record" from the available record types.
3. Set the Host/Name and the Value/Target:
- Copy the three record Host and Value from the EasyDMARC portal for Managed MTA-STS and TLS Reporting and paste them over into the three CNAME records created in DNS.
Note: Don't copy and paste the value in the screenshot. Yours will be targeted specifically for your own domain.
Note: If you're using Cloudflare make sure to turn off Cloudflare's Proxy Status.
4. Save the Record:
- After defining your CNAME Records, save them.
DNS changes may take some time to propagate across the internet. Be patient and allow some time for the MTA-STS record to propagate and for Managed MTA-STS to activate.
