Create SPF/DKIM and MX records in Plesk

  1. Log in to the Plesk Control Panel.

  2. Navigate to the "Domains" tab and select the domain name you want to use for mail services.

  3. Click on the "DNS Settings" tab.

  4. Create an SPF record:

    • Click on "Add Record".
    • Select "TXT" as the record type.
    • In the "TXT Record" field, enter your SPF record. For example, v=spf1 include:_spf.example.com ~all.
    • Click on the "OK" button to save the record.

  5. Create a DKIM record:

    • Click on "Add Record".
    • Select "TXT" as the record type.
    • In the "TXT Record" field, enter your DKIM record. For example, v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAoXHOMz6CJF6mlGkdlxvE6m....
    • Click on the "OK" button to save the record.
Note

You will need to generate a DKIM key pair in Plesk before you can create the DKIM record. To do this, navigate to "Mail Settings" > "DKIM" and click on "Enable DKIM" to generate a key pair.

  1. Create an MX record:

    • Click on "Add Record".
    • Select "MX" as the record type.
    • In the "Mail Exchange Server" field, enter the hostname of the mail server you want to use. For example, mail.example.com.
    • In the "Priority" field, enter a priority value for the mail server. For example, 10.
    • Click on the "OK" button to save the record.

That's it! Your SPF/DKIM and MX records are now configured for your domain in Plesk. Note that DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate.
