Step by step in OVHcloud

Point your MX records

MX records tell every other mail server where to deliver email for your domain. They must point to your provider and nowhere else.

Type
MX
Subdomain
Leave this field empty
Priority
10
Target
mx1.titan.email.
Type
MX
Subdomain
Leave this field empty
Priority
20
Target
mx2.titan.email.

In OVHcloud

  1. Select the Add an entry tile.
  2. In Mail records, choose MX.
  3. Leave Subdomain empty, enter the Priority and the Target (ending with a dot), and a TTL.
  4. Select Next, then Confirm.
  5. Delete older MX records with the trash icon in the Actions column.
  6. Repeat for each MX record above.

Add the SPF record

SPF is a TXT record that lists the services allowed to send email from your domain, so receivers can spot forgeries.

Type
TXT
Subdomain
Leave this field empty
Value
v=spf1 include:spf.titan.email ~all

In OVHcloud

  1. Select the Add an entry tile.
  2. In Extended records, choose TXT.
  3. Fill in Subdomain (empty for your bare domain) and Value.
  4. Select Next, then Confirm.
  5. Repeat for each TXT record above.

Set up DKIM

DKIM publishes a public key so receivers can confirm your messages really came from you and were not changed on the way.

Type
TXT
Subdomain
<selector>._domainkey
Value
Copy it from Titan Email Control Panel (see below)

Subdomain: Copy the DNS Host Name shown with your DKIM record in the Titan Email Control Panel.

Where to find your value

In the Titan Email Control Panel, open the Email Reputation tab (or click the Improve Email Reputation banner). Under Add DKIM record, click Add and copy the TXT value.

  • After adding the record, select I've added TXT records in my DNS control panel and click Verify changes.
  • Titan doesn't allow more than one DKIM TXT value under the same selector.
  • A new DKIM record can take up to 6 hours to propagate.

In OVHcloud

  1. Select the Add an entry tile.
  2. In Extended records, choose TXT.
  3. Fill in Subdomain (empty for your bare domain) and Value.
  4. Select Next, then Confirm.

Add the DMARC record (recommended)

DMARC tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF and DKIM, and where to send reports about it.

Type
TXT
Subdomain
_dmarc
Value
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:admin@yourdomain.com
  • Replace the address with your own. Later move p=none to quarantine and then reject.

In OVHcloud

  1. Select the Add an entry tile.
  2. In Extended records, choose TXT.
  3. Fill in Subdomain (empty for your bare domain) and Value.
  4. Select Next, then Confirm.

Check your setup

Once the records are saved, run a live check. We look up your domain in public DNS and tell you what is right, missing or wrong, with the fix in OVHcloud’s words.

We only read public DNS records. Nothing is stored.

Common mistakes with Titan Email on OVHcloud

Adding records where DNS isn't managed

Records must go in the authoritative DNS zone, which may be different from where you bought the domain.

Two DKIM values under one selector

Titan rejects more than one TXT value under the same DKIM selector. Paste exactly the value from the control panel.

OVHcloud: End targets with a dot

By default OVHcloud treats a target without a final dot as relative and adds your domain to the end. End MX and CNAME targets with a dot, for example mx1.example.com.

Titan Email on OVHcloud: questions

Where do I add Titan Email DNS records in OVHcloud?

Sign in to the OVHcloud Control Panel (ovh.com/manager). Under View all my activity, select your domain name. Open the DNS zone tab. Add each record there, one at a time.

What goes in the Subdomain field at OVHcloud?

Leave it empty for records on your bare domain, such as MX and SPF. For the others, enter only the part before your domain, for example _dmarc. OVHcloud adds your domain automatically.

Do I need to delete my existing MX records at OVHcloud?

Yes. Mail servers deliver to every MX record you publish, so keep only the Titan Email MX records and delete the rest. By default OVHcloud treats a target without a final dot as relative and adds your domain to the end. End MX and CNAME targets with a dot, for example mx1.example.com.

Where do I get my Titan Email DKIM record?

In the Titan Email Control Panel, open the Email Reputation tab (or click the Improve Email Reputation banner). Under Add DKIM record, click Add and copy the TXT value.

How long until Titan Email email works on OVHcloud?

Titan says new MX and TXT records can take up to 6 hours to go live. Your domain shows as Verified in the Titan control panel once they do.
