I setup my website for one of my subdomains e.g. app.mydomain.com
From my website, I'm trying to send emails using info#mydomain.com.
I don't have much experience in setting DNS records. I'm trying for weeks but my emails are going inside the spam. I talked to mydomain.com hosting providers and they set DKIM records and suggested to add SPF records as well:
mydomain txt "v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX +ip4:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXXX include:relay.mailchannels.net ~all"
Even after adding this record, my emails are going inside the spam folder with softfail. I don't know what I'm missing.
One thing, my app.mydomain.com and mydomain.com are hosted on separate servers that's why I've included ip4 for both websites.
I've read that we need to add different SPF records for different domains/subdomains but not sure if I need to add a separate SPF for my subdomain when I'm using mydomain's email address for sending emails. I feel like I'm stuck in a loop.
Can someone please assist me or guide me what should I look into to get to the right track?
Looking at the SPF record you included, it seems to be the incorrect format to include "subdomain" after the ip4. This should be only an ip address, not a domain.
You may want to do some testing / validation with the tools found on this site - https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx
ipv4 expects an IP(ipv4). So you should change your SPF to something like this:
"v=spf1 a mx ip4:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ip4:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXXX include:relay.mailchannels.net ~all"
To test, use https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=YOURDOMAIN&run=toolpage.
A good DKIM configuration will help you too.

I have a domain which I want to redirect to a AWS cloud front URL.
If I only add a redirect at my domain provider then browser shows the cloud front URL in address bar which looks ugly.
I can create a CNAME record with the cloud front URL to a sub-domain, but not directly to the domain, but I do not want user to type the complete sub-domain name.
I tried adding a combination of (1)a redirect from domain to the sub-domain and (2) a CNAME record from that sub-domain to the cloud-front URL. But, of course, I get "too many redirects".
What is the correct solution for this? Will any Route53 service fix this problem?
I changed the name server on my DNS to AWS route-53 ones and then added a record to the Alias pointing to my cloud-front distribution. In Cloud-front, I had to set my domain name as the Cname.
An alternate solution, and effectively another way to create virtual record, could have been as discussed here in "The Solution" section. Unfortunately my domain registrar(1&1) doesn't support this feature.
[Edit 06/27] I tried CloudFlare's CNAME flattening feature and that works as well.

Not sure how to word the title.
I am in this situation...
I have had a website for a long time now where the domain name and hosting are managed by OVH. A few years ago, I setup the email service through Protonmail with a custom domain. To do this, I changed some things in the DNS Zone so that emails will be routed through Protonmail. I would have to go back and look at exactly what needed changed...
Now however, I am becoming unhappy with the hosting provided by OVH, so I would like to try out another host. The issue is that to switch hosts, I could either
Transfer the domain to another provider, and then setup the email from scratch.
Switch the nameservers at OVH to point to hosting somewhere else (e.g. A2Hosting).
I would prefer to take the second option, since this would allow me to try out a different host without having to reconfigure my email. If I like the host, then I would probably move everything over to them. But I simply don't know if it is feasible. So is this possible? And if so, how would I do it?
I am worried that if I just switch the nameservers at the host, then my email would be offline.
You are right, if you change the name servers you will not be able to receive mails (unless you configure the MX records at the new provider). In you case you can simply create 2 A records pointing the root domain (example.com) and * (which is for all subdomains, that don't have their own records, so www.example.com and something.example.com will work, as long as there are no other records for them).
For more information about the records configuration you better ask your new host.
And when you are happy with the new hosting you can change the name servers or transfer the domain or do whatever you want. Note that the web host, the domain registrar and the DNS host may be from different providers, it's not a must to have all the services at one place.

I have a problem.
I own a small hosting company. I am trying to add Cloudflare to my site as a free CDN. The only problem is when I sign up I have to change the nameservers to their nameservers. I already have nameserver DNS set up through GoDaddy, so how do I add them to CloudFlare? My main site uses my company's nameservers already but whenever I add them the site goes offline.
When I go into Cloudflare's DNS records I click on the dropdown, click NS, and there's two boxes that say 'Name' and 'Nameserver'. Does this mean I input 'NS1' into 'Name' and 'NS1.DOMAIN.COM' into 'Nameserver'? Where do I input my server's IP addresses?
Is there another way of accomplishing this with the free version of Cloudflare?
That is just impossible. Option to have custom name servers available only on Business and Enterprise. See https://www.cloudflare.com/plans.
Also, you might mistaken. You must change name servers in your domain register settings, not on CloudFlare.
An old question (no doubt you found the answer long ago), but nevertheless still an interesting one! I recently faced this issue and would like to share what I did.
If I understand the question correctly, you are using child nameservers at your registrar to point your customers' domains to your server?
In cloudflare, after you have added your primary domain, you can also specify the NS record to allow customer domains to continue to use your custom / child nameservers at your registrar.
In the DNS records control panel, simply choose NS from the dropdown field, then in the Name field, add your child nameserver, then in Ip4address field, add the nameserver so it looks like e.g.
NS yourdomain.com managed by ns1.yourchildnameserver.com
Do the same for NS2 and your customer domains should continue to resolve without any issues.
In the end of course, it would be better to add each customer domain into CF ad point their DNS directly to your server, but the above steps should work as an interim measure.
Hope this helps someone else.

I have two domains in GoDaddy(default one mail account only - not hosted any where)
example1.com
example2.com
My requirement is to set MX record in example1.com, to send mail to these two domains.
Depending on domain name I need to send to my SMTP in example1.com.
Please give me exact flow what I need to follow, I am new to this MX records stuff.
Thank you
"requirement ... example1.com to send mail to these two domains"
add two MX records with identical priority to example1 zone
"depending on domain name I need to send to my SMTP in example1.com"
add one MX record, which specifies example1 mail server, to those other domains.

I have a sip address at my favorite VOIP provider. This is sip:customer1234#voipprovider.example.com.
I don't want to give this address to anyone, but instead I want people to call sip:derabbink#mydomain.com.
Is there a way to achieve this by creating DNS records (NAPTR/SRV) in the mydomain.com zone that I control?
I don't want to be running my own SIP proxy
PS: I know this is not exactly a coding question. However, since this probably involves regular expressions, it just might be. Secondly, I don't know which other SE site would suit it better. Feel free to suggest a better site in a comment.
No you can't use DNS to achieve your own SIP redirect.
You could set up your own NAPTR record in the same way ENUM does but the problem you've got is a standard SIP agent client will not look up a NAPTR record when forwarding a call to a SIP URI.
The best option would be to see if one of the SIP management/proxy service suit you. Some examples are sip2sip.info, pbxes.org and sipsorcery.com (disclaimer the latter is run by me). I'm not sure if the first two provide for hosting SIP addresses from your own domain but sipsorcery does.
Actually this depends on the SIP server.
If you are lucky, then you might just have to set your mydomain.com to point to the server IP and you are done. (However some sip servers will check also the domain name for the sip requests if it match with their own domain and if not, then they will try to forward the call).
Note: if you already use mydomain.com for some other purpose (like hosting your website) then you might set a subdomain instead such as sip.mydomain.com.
