Registrar guide
Set up email on a Netlify domain
If your domain uses Netlify DNS, email is one click away: connect, approve, and every record is written for you. The manual path is below, plus the one rule about the records Netlify manages itself.
The whole setup is one click
- 1.
Add your domain in Faivelo
- 2.
Click Connect Netlify and approve
- 3.
Records appear and verify by themselves
This is the whole setup. The connection manages DNS only, sees nothing about your sites or builds, and can be revoked in your Netlify user settings any time.
The manual path, if you prefer it
- 1Prefer to do it by hand? Open app.netlify.com and go to Domains.
- 2Click your domain, then open its DNS settings.
- 3Use Add new record for each entry your Faivelo dashboard lists.
Enter just the prefix in the Name field, like _dmarc; leave it empty for the root domain.
What your screen should look like
DNS RECORDS
| Record type | Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| NETLIFY | yourdomain.com | your-site.netlify.app | 3600 |
| MX | (empty) | mx.faivelo.com | 3600 |
The NETLIFY rows are how your site gets served. Leave them exactly as they are; your email records go alongside them.
What gets set up, in plain words
Receiving
One record tells the internet to deliver your mail to Faivelo.
MX
Sending and trust
These prove your mail is really yours, so it lands in inboxes instead of spam folders.
TXT ×4CNAME ×3MX
Device auto-setup optional
Optional but nice: phones and mail apps find their settings by themselves instead of asking for servers and ports.
CNAME ×2SRV ×3
You type less than you think
Add your domain to Faivelo, free, and your dashboard generates this exact set for your domain. Every value has a one-click copy next to it, and each record checks itself off the moment it goes live, so you always know what is done and what is left.
And you give nothing up: this is the same full SPF, DKIM and DMARC setup the big per-seat providers configure. The flat price changes what you pay, not what lands in inboxes.
Get your records, freeThings Netlify does differently
This only works on Netlify DNS
If you connected your domain to Netlify with just a CNAME at another host, there is no Netlify zone to edit. This guide applies when your domain uses the four Netlify DNS nameservers, whose addresses end in nsone.net.
Do not touch the NETLIFY records
The synthetic NETLIFY and NETLIFYv6 records serve your site. Deleting them takes the site down; email records never require changing them.
Check that it worked
Records usually go live within minutes, though caches can hold old answers for up to a day. Faivelo re-checks your domain automatically and emails you the moment everything verifies. Want an instant answer? Run a free email checkup on your domain and see exactly which records are live.
