DNS records explained, without the jargon
6 min read
When you add a domain, Oonglee shows you a short list of records to copy. A record is simply a line of text stored with your domain provider that tells the rest of the internet how your domain behaves.
The receiving records point incoming mail at Oonglee, so that a message sent to you actually arrives in your inbox instead of bouncing.
The sending records prove that Oonglee is allowed to send on your behalf. They are the reason your messages land in an inbox rather than a spam folder, so please do not skip them.
Copy each record with the button beside it, paste it into your provider's DNS area, then press Check my records. Changes can take a few minutes to spread, so if it is not green yet, wait and press check again.
