Domains & DNS

Authenticate your sender and receive on your own domain.

Add a domain

Use a domain or subdomain without a scheme, path or email address. The returned records array has purpose, type, host, value and required. Pending domains count toward account limits.

Example
inboxit domains add --name mail.yourbrand.com
inboxit domains provider --id DOMAIN_UUID

Publish and verify

Ownership and DKIM TXT records are required; DMARC is recommended. Hosts are fully qualified: providers that append the zone may need a relative host. Preserve existing mail records. Verification returns status, checks and checked_at. Wait at least ten seconds between checks.

Example
inboxit domains verify --id DOMAIN_UUID

Receiving DNS

For a dedicated receiving subdomain, set MX to mail.inboxit.wtf with priority 10. Assignment requires MX records to point exclusively to that host. Do not replace root-domain MX used by another provider. A verified sending domain alone does not create a receiving inbox.

Remove safely

Remove custom receiving routes before deleting a domain. A domain with attached addresses returns 409. Address removal does not delete the inbox or messages.

Example
inboxit inboxes remove-address --id INBOX_UUID
inboxit domains delete --id DOMAIN_UUID
