Common Zoho Mail mistakes
Using US MX values for a non-US account
The MX domain ending changes with your Zoho data center. If you signed up in the EU, India or another region, copy the values from your Admin Console.
Keeping old MX records with a low number
Records from a previous provider with equal or higher priority (such as 0 or 5) can stop mail reaching Zoho. Delete them.
Adding a second SPF record
Multiple SPF records can make SPF fail and send mail to spam. Merge every include into one record.
Forgetting to verify and enable DKIM
After publishing the TXT record, click Verify for the selector in Zoho, then enable DKIM.
Publishing more than one DMARC record
Multiple DMARC records cause a permanent error and the policy is ignored. Keep exactly one.
