How to Review DNS and Certificate Records Before Adding a New Mail Service

A new mail provider can require records that interact with existing MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and autodiscovery settings.

Checks to make

Confirm the new service’s documented requirements and current authoritative zone, inventory other senders, and plan record precedence. Test inbound and outbound mail with controlled accounts, then monitor authentication results before retiring old records.
