Email with Office 365

Please follow these steps to direct email to Office 365:

1. Log into the Domain Name Management System.
2. Click the domain to update.
3. If Custom DNS is already on, click Edit DNS.
   If Custom DNS is not on, click Use our DNS, and confirm changing the name servers.
4. Click Add New Record.
5. Select TXT from the Add New Record menu, enter this information, and click Add Record.
   
   Host Name: @
   Text: Enter the text record requested in the Office 365 set up. It should look something like MS=msXXXXXXXX

Next, log in to Office 365 and verify that they see the TXT record. When they verify the record, they will provide you with the MX record to use. Then you can return to the Custom DNS interface to add that record, and additional records that Microsoft recommends.
