How to Set Up Shopify Email Hosting - Changing you MX records

This guide is for customers who wish to configure their own DNS.

Note - that DNS changes should only be made by advanced users and we take no responsibility for your changes.

In order to access mail on our server you must change your MX record to point to: 

mx.yourdomain.com.cust.hostedemail.com

where yourdomain.com is your custom domain.

You should then also add a CName record (optional but suggested) to:

mail.yourdomainname.com.cust.hostedemail.com

For Example
if your domain is myamazingshop.com you would make your

MX record
mx.myamazingshop.com.cust.hostedemail.com

CName record
mail.myamazingshop.com.cust.hostedemail.com

Your domain registrar will have specific instruction for how to change these records.

Once that DNS change is done you should open a support ticket - to let our team know that they can create the mailboxes.

It should take around 48 hours to receive your email access details.
