Domain settings in the system

Into the system, enter a second-level domain (e.g., company.com), under which individual email accounts will be created.

Sending messages

The sender's identity is the same as the specific email account, e.g., mailbox@company.com.

Nastavení SPF

It is necessary to add the following TXT record onto Networkthe Solutions:DNS records of the domain "company.com":

Recommended SPF setting:

1	v=spf1 mx include: spf.atollon.com -all

If you also send emails from other servers, they must be included in the SPF rules as well.

Example of what the record might look like when using multiple mail providers:

Atollon as a secondary email server

This option is suitable if Atollon is intended to serve purely as a mail archiving tool (not as the primary email server), or if the goal is for Atollon to manage only a specific portion of the email communication (selected mailboxes).

Domain settings in the system

Into the system, you enter the settings for a third-level email domain (e.g., https://www.google.com/search?q=INSTANCENAME.atollon.com), for which only selected email mailboxes are created. On the primary email server (at the current email service provider), email forwarding is then set up for individual mailboxes from mailbox@company.com to mailbox@company.atollon.com.

Sending messages

After creating the mailboxes, it is advisable to change the sender's identity within the Atollon system. Instead of mailbox@company.atollon.com, it is recommended to set it to mailbox@company.com. For this to function correctly, the DNS records for the domain "company.com" must be updated—specifically, the SPF rule must be supplemented—see below.
