Manual DNS setup

Use manual setup for any DNS host — including every provider where Reloop does not offer Auto populate.

Prerequisites

Steps

1

Open your domain in Reloop

Go to Domains → select the domain. Keep this tab open — you will copy each row.

2

Open your DNS provider

Use Open DNS settings in Reloop if shown, or jump to the matching provider guide.

3

Add each record

For every required row in Reloop:

  1. Choose the same type (TXT, MX, CNAME)
  2. Set name/host as shown (@, reloop._domainkey, _dmarc, link, …)
  3. Paste value exactly
  4. For MX, set priority (often 10)
  5. Save

Provider UIs differ:

  • Some want blank host instead of @
  • Some auto-append your domain — do not enter reloop._domainkey.acme.com if the UI already adds acme.com
  • Cloudflare: keep records DNS only (grey cloud) unless you know you need a proxy (almost never for mail TXT/MX)
4

Merge SPF if needed

If an SPF TXT already exists, merge include:reloop.sh into it. Do not create a second SPF. See SPF conflicts.

5

Verify in Reloop

Return to Reloop → Verify. Allow time for propagation if checks fail immediately.

Checklist before you verify

  • Edited the DNS host that matches your NS records (not only the registrar invoice)
  • DKIM TXT is complete (long p= value not cut off)
  • Only one SPF record on that host
  • MX only changed if you intend to (sending vs receiving)
  • Tracking CNAME host is free or intentionally replaced
