Asked by tristansalonga
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
