tightwire Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) Please check this DNS change request I have from an outside email provider - for dangerous code. My Squarespace site ma.nj.org has a request from client to use their existing email provider. He sent a request for DNS changes. The MX records look straight forward, but I am not sure if the Autodiscover or the TXT records have the ability to cause trouble to the site. I would appreciate any help. Here is the request: A Autodiscover 64.247.29.164 MX mx1.mtaroutes.com MX mx2.mtaroutes.com MX mx3.mtaroutes.com MX mx4.mtaroutes.com TXT @ v=spf1 include:spf.mtaroutes.com include:sendgrid.net ip4:64.247.29.164 -all TXT _dmarc v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; pct=100 v=DKIM1; k=rsa;p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAzoN4yx5RIObauG22ukP3kRpgqKdjQ+JUdISbxlnEc7/6CkeDOd6OixJ1ItPBGXWW8BM3toWH/L7mWJbFl/rfeeHdPsTW++iWFsH6Hn+DtRtCzNqcS+xH6AilLOWLMoNJj8Zcz0Q450bXhhHXhudAPkz3uMHv56mRY1qEPS00sL7LxxQ6fjF1DXUzjgIlL+mXXlfkL4hWv7iIVcGLKcAQYUzlOIQvFoVHz8JQQKTaBi6YOAexObYsJX97HTRiQqqP/WJ/u4mn4N2ElsJuXScOBrZqkYf9A7kCS4ChmAE+B80a4YGN1LCRMfkeqbyBh68Kq2510AVbERD1QRr2ZblEdQIDAQAB; Edited August 5 by tightwire Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) I believe those mx records are for this service.

tightwire Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 Thank you so much. This was a big help. I will follow the records you referred, but do these settings generally look like pretty normal fare for an outside email provider request? One last question - I had set up a Google Workspace with Squarespace for this domain when I first thought I would be providing the email. Do I need to delete those Google MX records before I add these? I hate to get rid of that account because I cannot get it back if the client changes their mind later and wants me to provide email handling. Thanks again. Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Yes they look normal to me. You do need to delete the Google mx records but make a copy first just in case. Link to comment
tightwire Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 So I will still have my Google Workspace account, but I can delete the MX records and put them back in if I need to create email for this account? I really appreciate your quick response. Thank you so much. Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Yes. As long as the workspace account stays active of course. Link to comment
