This topic describes how to configure DNS settings for a domain name registered outside Alibaba Cloud (Wanwang) to use Alibaba Mail.

If your DNS server is not provided by Alibaba Cloud, copy the following DNS record information and provide it to your domain name provider. They can guide you through the configuration.
