Email IP Address and Domain Name Setup

  • Updated

Overview

This tutorial provides a breakdown of the IP Address and domain names used for sending emails.

Emails Sent Automatically

The following StudioCloud services automatically send email messages:

  • CloudAlert personalized automated emails
  • Scheduled email messages
  • CloudForm confirmation emails

The above services send emails using the following setup:

  • IP Address: 54.245.226.16
    • Note: The above IP address is StudioCloud's IP address. StudioCloud connects to your email provider to send emails and, as such, sometimes your email providers smtp server's ip address will need to be used instead.

  • Domain Name: app1.studiocloud.com

SPF Record Setup

One possible setup for your SPF txt record could be the following:

v=spf1 include:studiocloud.com include:app1.studiocloud.com include:app10.studiocloud.com ~all

However, SPF txt record setup vary according to your email provider and, as such, you may have to include additional domain names and ip addresses depending on your email provider.

The SPF Setup Wizard and the email test solutions below can provide you with any missing information.

DMARC Record Setup

Below are some examples of basic DMARC setup options that can be added to the DNS txt record.

  • _dmarc
    • v=DMARC1;p=none
    • This option will have no action if an email doesn't correctly match the domain.
  • _dmarc
    • v=DMARC1;p=reject
    • This option will have the emails rejected if they do not match the domain.
  • _dmarc
    • v=DMARC1;p=quarantine
    • This option will have the emails quarantined if they do not match the domain.

The StudioCloud team recommends initially setting up the DMARC using the policy of none. After everything is verified to be working you may switch the policy to the other options.
