If you use Gmail, you can send from your ForwardMX custom domains from your Gmail account, using our SMTP servers.
- Go to Gmail -> Settings -> Accounts and Import
- Add another email address you own under Aliases
- Set name & email. Untick “treat as in alias”
- SMTP server name is in your ForwardMX account. It will be something like
mx1.forwardmx.net
, port is always 587. - Username can be found inside your ForwardMX account.
- Password is not your login password. It is the SMTP password shown inside your account.
- Leave TLS enabled
- Click “Add Account”
- Reload your Gmail account
- Done :)
Now you can choose which email to send from when you compose a new mail. It will also automatically use the right email when you respond to a mail.
The correct TXT record for forwarding and sending emails via ForwardMX is:
"v=spf1 include:_spf.forwardmx.net -all"
