How to add MX Record on my custom domain bought from Shopify

Posted June 22, 2020
Email Configuration Management

Hi All! Is there an MX Record like the MX record of Gmail for DigitalOcean Integration? I already create a Webhosting for the domain I bought in Shopify and I want to create an email here in DigitalOcean which has the domain that I bought svmoregroups.com, for example admin@svmore.com. upon creating, it can’t send or received email. I have to input the MX Record of DO to the DNS settings of my domain. I hope someone could help me!

Here’s the sample image of what I’m looking for: https://i.imgur.com/tpZPo.png

Hi there @tristansalonga,

Note that DigitalOcean does not provide a managed mail server solution out of the box. In order for you to use DigitalOcean as your email provider, you need to actually set up a Droplet and configure it as your email server. Then you can use that Droplet’s IP address and set up your DNS so that you would receive emails.

You can take a look at this article here on how to configure a mail server using Postfix, Dovecot, MySQL and SpamAssassin:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
