Alibaba Cloud Enterprise Account: Alibaba Cloud Enterprise Mailbox Domain Name Resolution Configuration Method
In the daily office and foreign business exchanges of the enterprise, it has an exclusive mailbox "with its own company domain name as the suffix" (such
), is the first step in building customer trust.
Many people have bought Aliyun's corporate email and domain names, but they are stuck in the last step-"domain name resolution. Looking at the MX, TXT and CNAME records on the full screen, I don't know how to fill them in at all, for fear that the wrong configuration will lead to the failure to receive the customer's mail.
Today's tutorial uses the most grounded language to take you step by step to resolve the domain name of Aliyun enterprise mailbox. As long as you follow the steps of copying and pasting, it can be opened smoothly in 5 minutes without overturning.
Core Principle: What Is Domain Name Resolution?
Before we start work, we first use 30 seconds to understand the principle, and then we will have a bottom when configuring:
Domain name resolution is like "registering" your domain name on the Internet ".
MX record: Tell post offices around the world that all mail sent to @ yourcompany.com should be delivered to Alibaba Cloud's mailbox server.
TXT record (SPF): Anti-counterfeit mark. Prove that only emails sent from Aliyun server are sent by your company to prevent others from pretending to be you and sending spam.
CNAME record: shortcut. Allow you and your employees to log in directly to your email using a easy-to-remember URL like mail.yourcompany.com.
Phase 1: Get the value of the parsing record (2 minutes)
First of all, we need to get the "registration form information" exclusive to Aliyun's enterprise mailbox ".
Log in to the Alibaba Cloud Management Console.
Enter the enterprise mailbox in the search bar at the top to go to the enterprise mailbox management console.
In the mailbox list, find the mailbox you just bought and click Manage or Assign Domain Name on the right.
At this point, the system will usually pop up an initialization wizard, or you can find the domain name resolution check in the left menu.
A form will be displayed on the screen, which contains several records you need to fill in. Don't panic, I have already sorted out the most standard Aliyun mailbox analysis parameters below, and look directly at the second stage.
Phase 2: Go to the domain name console to add resolution (5 minutes)
If your domain name was also bought in ariyun (wanwang), the operation is very simple.
1. Enter the domain name resolution page
Keep the current account login, search for the domain name at the top of the console, and enter the Domain Name Service console.
In the domain name list, find the domain name you want to bind (such as yourcompany.com).
Click the resolution link on the right side of the domain name to go to the "Cloud DNS" page of the domain name.
2. Accurately add 5 core records
On the Parse Settings page, click
Add record
Button. You need to add the following 5 records in turn. Please check as strictly as filling in the blanks:
First: MX record (used to receive mail
component-master server)
Record Type: Select MX
Host record: enter @ (represents direct application to primary domain name)
Line analysis: Default
Record Value: Enter mx1.qiye.aliyun.com.
MX Priority: Enter 5
TTL: Keep default (e. g. 10 minutes)
Article 2: MX record (for incoming mail-alternate server)
Record Type: Select MX
Host Record: Enter @
Line analysis: Default
Record Value: Enter mx2.qiye.aliyun.com.
MX Priority: Enter 10 (the smaller the priority number, the better, so this is standby)
TTL: Keep default
Article 3: TXT record (core anti-counterfeiting: SPF record)
Record Type: Select TXT
Host Record: Enter @
Line analysis: Default
Record value: Enter v = spf1 include:spf.qiye.aliyun.com -all
TTL: Keep default
🚨Hint: If you find that there is already a TXT record of v = spf1. .. in the list (for example, you have received other mailboxes before), don't overwrite it directly. you need to merge the alibaba cloud address into the include similar to v = spf1: spf.xxx.com include:spf.qiye.aliyun.com -all. If it is a blank piece of paper, just fill in the one above.
Article 4: CNAME Record (Mailbox Web Login Shortcut)
After configuring this, employees can pass
mail. Your domain name
Sign in to your mailbox.
Record Type: Select CNAME
Host Record: Enter mail
Line analysis: Default
Record Value: Enter mail.qiye.aliyun.com.
TTL: Keep default
Article 5: CNAME record (for password encryption and client secure connection)
Record Type: Select CNAME
Host Record: Enter pop3
Line analysis: Default
Record Value: Enter pop.qiye.aliyun.com.
TTL: Keep default
(Optional: If you and your employees are used to using IMAP protocol on mobile phones or Outlook, you can add a CNAME record, fill in imap for the host record and imap.qiye.aliyun.com for the record value.)
The third stage: a key check and validation (3 minutes)
After all the records have been added, how do you know if you have succeeded?
1. Aliyun background one-click verification
Return to
Enterprise Mailbox Console
, on the page where you bound the domain name, find
Check Domain Name Resolution
button, click it.
If the solution
The analysis has taken effect, and a green correct or effective icon will be displayed behind the corresponding record.
If it shows red, don't worry, DNS refresh takes a little time (usually within 10 minutes). If it is still red for more than 2 hours, go back and check if there are any typos or if the spaces are copied in.
2. Programmer hard core verification method (optional)
If you can't wait for the system to refresh and want to check it on your computer, you can open the local command line tool (Windows CMD,Mac terminal) and enter the following command:
Bash
# Check whether the MX record is valid
nslookup -qt = mx your domain name
# Check whether the SPF (TXT) record is valid
nslookup -qt = txt your domain name
If the returned result contains
mx1.qiye.aliyun.com
, indicating that the Internet already knows that your mailbox has moved to Aliyun.
The fourth stage: master advanced-how to match domain names bought outside the country?
If your domain name was not bought in Aliyun (for example, in Tengxun Cloud, Huawei Cloud, or foreign GoDaddy or Cloudflare), how should it be matched?
The logic is exactly the same, just
The place where the record was changed has been changed.
:
Log in to the platform where you purchased your domain name (for example, log in to Tengxun Cloud).
Find your domain name and enter DNS resolution management.
According to the parameters in the second stage table above (record type, host record, record value, priority), you can add them word for word.
the alibaba cloud mailbox server will also automatically activate after it detects that the resolution is correct.
Summary and first flight test
When the analysis status is all displayed in green, congratulations, the enterprise mailbox has been officially navigated. You just need to do the last two things:
Create an account: In the mailbox management background, create an account for employees (such as [email protected]) and set an initial password for them.
First flight test: use your personal QQ email or wechat to send a test email to the newly built enterprise email. If it can be received in seconds, then reply with the enterprise email to ensure that it can be received and sent.
As long as you strictly follow the tutorial and do not miss MX and TXT anti-counterfeiting records, there will be no technical threshold for the configuration of enterprise mailboxes. May your business flourish!
