In order to successfully create a mailbox and/or forwarders-only, the following settings must be configured:

- The hosting package must allow 'Email accounts'.
Add a mailbox/forwarder-only
- Open Email in the left sidebar.
- Select Add account.
- When the form loads, input the email address and select the type of account you would like to create (mailbox or forwarder only).
- Complete the form.
- Click Add to finish.
Email authentication
Email authentication (or email validation) is a collection of protocols used to verify the source and legitimacy of email messages.
SPF (Sender Policy Framework)
Validates if an email was sent from an authorized IP address. An SPF record is automatically added to every domain in LxRoot.
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail)
Signs the message with a cryptographic signature to verify it was sent from the source domain and hasn't been altered.
To enable DKIM on a domain:
- Open Websites in the left sidebar.
- Select the website you would like to enable DKIM for.
- Select Domains from the top menu and select the specific domain.
- Scroll to Email authentication and toggle DKIM On.
If the DNS is hosted with LxRoot, wait for automatic validation. If the DNS is hosted elsewhere, follow the instructions on screen to manually add the TXT records with your provider.
