DNS Configuration FAQs
What DNS records does InboxKit configure?
InboxKit automatically configures all essential email authentication records: SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records to authorize sending servers, DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) with 2048-bit encryption for message signing, DMARC policies with custom alignment settings, MX records for email routing, and TXT records for verification. We also configure advanced records like BIMI for brand logo display, MTA-STS for transport security, and custom subdomain records for tracking and analytics. All records use industry best practices with optimal TTL values and are continuously monitored for changes or conflicts that could impact deliverability.
How long does DNS propagation take?
DNS propagation varies by provider and record type, typically taking 24-48 hours for complete global distribution. However, InboxKit's optimized configurations often achieve propagation within 1-4 hours for most regions. We set optimal TTL values (300-3600 seconds) to balance propagation speed with cache efficiency. Our real-time monitoring system checks propagation status across 15+ global locations and sends instant notifications when records are active. For urgent setups, we can coordinate with DNS providers to expedite propagation, and our troubleshooting tools help identify and resolve any propagation issues quickly.
Can I use InboxKit with my existing DNS provider?
Absolutely! InboxKit integrates with 20+ major DNS providers including Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, AWS Route53, Google Cloud DNS, Azure DNS, and many others. We offer two setup methods: automated API integration for instant configuration (preferred method), or manual setup with step-by-step instructions and exact record values. Our API integrations handle authentication securely, create records automatically, and continuously sync changes. For manual setups, we provide copy-paste ready values, validation tools, and guided tutorials with screenshots for each provider's interface. Our support team can also assist with complex configurations or custom DNS requirements.
What happens if I already have DNS records?
InboxKit's smart DNS analysis scans your existing configuration before making any changes, identifying all current SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MX records. We intelligently merge existing configurations with new requirements, preserving critical records like existing SPF includes or custom MX priorities. If conflicts are detected (such as multiple SPF records or DMARC policy conflicts), our system alerts you with specific recommendations for resolution. We provide backup copies of original records, staged rollout options for testing, and rollback capabilities to ensure zero downtime. Our conflict resolution wizard guides you through complex scenarios step-by-step.
