What are the DNS records for the email hosting service?
Recently UpdatedMX Records
To receive email correspondence with our email hosting service, you must declare the following MX records as described, replacing any existing ones, using your DNS provider's control panel.
If WebHosting|4U is your domain registrar and we provide DNS services, the process is automated.

SPF Record
The SPF record in DNS specifies which mail servers and IP addresses are allowed to send email messages on behalf of a domain name.
Defining a correct SPF record reduces the likelihood of someone using your domain name to send unwanted messages and increases the likelihood that your message will not be marked as spam.

TXT
v=spf1 include:spf.webhosting4u.email mx a -all
DKIM Record
DKIM digital signatures are available in the email hosting control panel and at the following address:
domains > mydomain.gr > settings > security tab > Custom DKIM signature.
We enable, add the record that will appear as TXT, and need to validate it after the DNS record for the domain has been updated.
The setting is only available to our resellers.
DMARC Record
DMARC is an email authentication protocol that allows a domain owner to specify how recipients should handle messages that fail authentication. In other words, it has not been sent by the actual and legitimate sender.
The email authentication system DMARC is used to protect against phishing attempts or phishing that are sent by untrusted senders. DMARC can generate daily reports in XML format about the flow of email. This helps to verify that the servers that send email on your behalf are legitimate and real.

dmarc
v=DMARC1: Specifies the version of DMARC used.p=quarantine: Indicates that emails that fail DMARC authentication should be considered suspicious and placed in quarantine (often in the spam folder).adkim=s: Specifies the DKIM alignment mode to strict. The domain in the DKIM signature must match exactly with the domain in the "From" header.aspf=s: Specifies the SPF alignment mode to strict. The domain in the SPF check must match exactly with the domain in the "From" header.
In total, this record enforces strict alignment and instructs email servers to quarantine emails that fail DMARC authentication.
You can use the following generator to create your own DMARC record.
