DNS Provider Setup

After adding a domain in Mailtani, you'll receive a set of DNS records to add to your domain's DNS provider. This guide covers how to add those records in the most common DNS providers.

Cloudflare

  1. Log in to dash.cloudflare.com and select your domain.
  2. Click DNS > Records in the left sidebar.
  3. Click Add record for each record from Mailtani.
  4. Set the Type (CNAME or TXT), paste the Host and Value from Mailtani.
  5. Set Proxy status to DNS only (grey cloud icon) — do not proxy DNS records for email verification.
  6. Click Save.

Tip: Cloudflare propagates within seconds to a few minutes.

Namecheap

  1. Log in to namecheap.com and go to Domain List.
  2. Click Manage next to your domain, then select the Advanced DNS tab.
  3. Click Add New Record and choose the record type (CNAME or TXT).
  4. In the Host field, enter only the subdomain part. For example, if the record host is mail.yourdomain.com, enter mail.
  5. Paste the Value from Mailtani.
  6. Click the green checkmark to save.

Tip: Namecheap propagation typically takes 15–30 minutes.

GoDaddy

  1. Log in to godaddy.com and go to My Products.
  2. Click DNS next to your domain.
  3. Scroll to the correct record type section and click Add.
  4. In the Host field, enter only the subdomain part (e.g. mail, not mail.yourdomain.com).
  5. Paste the Value from Mailtani, set TTL to 1 hour, and click Save.

Tip: GoDaddy propagation typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours.

AWS Route 53

  1. Go to the AWS Route 53 Console and open your Hosted Zone.
  2. Click Create record.
  3. Set the Record name to the subdomain portion of the host (e.g. mail for mail.yourdomain.com).
  4. Set Record type to CNAME or TXT and paste the Value from Mailtani.
  5. Click Create records.

Tip: Route 53 usually propagates within 60 seconds.

Porkbun

  1. Log in to porkbun.com and go to Domain Management.
  2. Click the DNS button next to your domain.
  3. Select the record type (CNAME or TXT) from the dropdown.
  4. Enter the Host (subdomain only) and Value from Mailtani.
  5. Click Add.

Tip: Porkbun propagation typically takes a few minutes.

Other Providers

The steps are similar across all DNS providers:

  1. Find the DNS management or DNS records section for your domain.
  2. Add a new record with the Type, Host (name/subdomain), and Value (content/target) shown in Mailtani.
  3. When entering the Host, use only the subdomain portion if your provider automatically appends the root domain. For example, use mail instead of mail.yourdomain.com.
  4. Save each record and then return to Mailtani to click Check Status.

Troubleshooting

Records not verifying after 30 minutes?

  • Double-check that the Host value doesn't have your root domain appended twice (e.g. mail.yourdomain.com.yourdomain.com).
  • Make sure Cloudflare proxy is set to DNS only (not proxied).
  • Use dnschecker.org to verify propagation globally.
  • Some providers (GoDaddy) can take up to 48 hours in rare cases.

TXT records not found?

  • Ensure there are no extra spaces in the value when copying.
  • Some providers wrap TXT values in quotes automatically — you should not add quotes yourself.
