Administration: Mail Options¶
Administration > Mail Options
This menu section is where SiteWorx users can manage email service related tasks, such as setting mail filters and spam rules, managing mail related DNS records, and managing remote or local delivery options.
Remote Setup¶
Administration > Mail Options > Remote Setup
The Remote Setup page is where SiteWorx users can:
Disable local delivery
Edit the MX record for a domain, if it will be using an outside mail service, such as Microsoft Exchange or GSuites
Disabling local delivery is a requirement if using an outside mail service.
If local delivery is disabled for a domain, the Hosting Features > Email menu items will not appear in the SiteWorx interface.
Information about how to manage local delivery can be found here.
Filters¶
Administration > Mail Options > Filters
The Filters page is where SiteWorx users can set up filtering rules to block specific subjects, sender email addresses, and TLDs.
Information about how to manage mail filters can be found here.
Spam Settings¶
Administration > Mail Options > Spam Settings
The Spam Settings page is where SiteWorx users can:
Enable SpamAssassin scanning for the domain
Configure domain-level rules.
Information about how to manage SiteWorx spam settings can be found here.
SPF¶
Administration > Mail Options > SPF
The SPF pages is where SiteWorx users can easily add SPF DNS Records for the domains associated with the account.
An SPF record, or “Sender Policy Framework” record, is used to define a set of rules that valid email sent from a domain will follow. Email that is attempted to be sent without following this policy may be rejected, such as email sent with a spoofed domain.
Some mail services, such as Google, will not accept mail from domains that do not have an associated SPF record.
Information about how to create SPF records can be found here.
DKIM¶
Administration > Mail Options > DKIM
The DKIM page is where SiteWorx users can easily add DomainKeys (DKIM) DNS Records and mail-signing for the domains associated with the account.
DomainKeys is a system meant to authenticate e-mail messages to reduce spoofing, etc.
Some mail services, such as Google, will not accept mail from domains that do not have an associated DKIM record.
Information about how to create DKIM keys can be found here.
DMARC¶
Administration > Mail Options > DMARC
The DMARC page is where SiteWorx users can easily add Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) records for domains associated with the account.
Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance is a technical specification that is used to authenticate and email by aligning SPF and DKIM mechanisms.
Some mail services, such as Google, will not accept mail from domains that do not have an associated DMARC record.
Information on how to create DMARC records can be found here.
