Please check DNS change request

Recommended Posts

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;

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.

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.
