Things that you need for this howto to be relevant:
- RunBox mail account
- DirectNIC domain hosting
- DirectDNS DNS hosting to go with your domain (an additional $5/yr)
You must be using DirectNIC to host your DNS in order for this to work.
- Log in to DirectNIC
- Under "Advanced Options" on the left, choose "directDNS"
- In the upper left corner, choose "Domain List"
- Under the "Domain" Column near the center of the page, click the name of the domain that you want to host using RunBox
- If you're using DirectDNS already, you should see some A records. If you haven't set up mail, you should NOT see any MX records.
- Select "MX" form the available "Type" options, don't change the subdomain field, and enter your domain name. A good MX preference value is 10. If you know that you need another value for this, you probably don't need to be reading this guide. Click the "Create Record" button.
- Now define a catchall MX record. This is the same as the last step, except that you should put an asterisk (*) in the subdomain box. Click "Create Record".
