DNS Configuration for jamjhadi.shop Email Server

Required DNS Records

To make your email server work with your domain jamjhadi.shop, you need to add the following DNS records:

1. A Record for Mail Server

Type: A
Name: mail
Value: YOUR_SERVER_IP
TTL: 3600

2. MX Record for Email Routing

Type: MX
Name: @
Value: mail.jamjhadi.shop
Priority: 10
TTL: 3600

3. SPF Record for Email Authentication

Type: TXT
Name: @
Value: v=spf1 mx a ip4:YOUR_SERVER_IP ~all
TTL: 3600

4. DMARC Record (Optional but Recommended)

Type: TXT
Name: _dmarc
Value: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:manager@jamjhadi.shop
TTL: 3600

Steps to Configure DNS

If using Cloudflare:

  1. Log into your Cloudflare dashboard
  2. Select your domain jamjhadi.shop
  3. Go to DNS > Records
  4. Add each record above, replacing YOUR_SERVER_IP with your actual server IP

If using other DNS providers:

  1. Log into your domain registrar's control panel
  2. Find the DNS management section
  3. Add the records above

Important Notes:

  1. Replace YOUR_SERVER_IP: You need to replace YOUR_SERVER_IP with your actual server's public IP address
  2. TTL: Time To Live - 3600 seconds (1 hour) is recommended
  3. MX Priority: Lower numbers have higher priority (10 is standard)
  4. SPF Record: This tells other email servers that your server is authorized to send emails for your domain

Testing Your Configuration:

After adding DNS records, you can test them using:

# Test MX record
dig MX jamjhadi.shop

# Test A record
dig A mail.jamjhadi.shop

# Test SPF record
dig TXT jamjhadi.shop

Server IP Configuration:

You'll also need to update the config.js file with your server's IP address:

dns: {
  a: {
    subdomain: 'mail',
    ip: 'YOUR_ACTUAL_SERVER_IP' // Replace with your server IP
  },
  spf: 'v=spf1 mx a ip4:YOUR_ACTUAL_SERVER_IP ~all'
}

Port Configuration:

Make sure your server allows incoming connections on:

  • Port 25 (SMTP)
  • Port 3001 (Web interface)
  • Port 3002 (API)

If you're behind a firewall, you may need to configure port forwarding.
