Add DNS records in Dynadot

Switch your Dynadot domain to Dynadot DNS and add the MX and SPF records so email sent to it reaches your inbox through Mailyoto.

Updated 29 October 2026

Choose a different DNS provider

Add Mailyoto’s records in Dynadot if you registered the domain at Dynadot.

Before you start

  1. Switch the domain to Dynadot DNS#

    Sign in at dynadot.com, open your domain list and choose your domain, for example lunavera.com.

    Open DNS Settings and choose Dynadot DNS from the list.

    Dynadot's DNS Settings window for lunavera.com with the service list open and Dynadot DNS marked.

    The domain stops using Dynadot Parking or Dynadot Forwarding once you save. Dynadot DNS lets you enter your own records, which Mailyoto needs.

  2. Delete other MX rows#

    If the Domain Record section already has MX rows that don’t point to mx1.mailyoto.com or mx2.mailyoto.com, delete them with the bin button. Mailyoto checks that every MX record on the domain is one of its own.

  3. Add the MX rows#

    In the Domain Record section, set Record Type to MX. Type the priority in the first box under IP Address / Destination and the mail server in the second.

    Select Add Record for the second row.

    Dynadot's Domain Record section with 2 MX rows, 10 mx1.mailyoto.com and 20 mx2.mailyoto.com, and the Save Settings button marked.
    MX records
    Record Type First box (priority) Second box (destination)
    MX 10 mx1.mailyoto.com
    MX 20 mx2.mailyoto.com

  4. Add the SPF row and save#

    Select Add Record again and set Record Type to TXT. Then select Save Settings.

    Dynadot's Domain Record section with the 2 MX rows and a TXT row holding v=spf1 include:spf.mailyoto.com ~all, and the Save Settings button marked.
    Record Type
    TXT
    IP Address / Destination
    v=spf1 include:spf.mailyoto.com ~all

    Important

    A domain can have only 1 SPF record. If a TXT row starting with v=spf1 is already there, edit it instead of adding a second one. Put include:spf.mailyoto.com before its final ~all or -all, as Merging SPF records shows.

  5. Add the DKIM records to send email#

    Skip this step if you only receive email. To send from your domain on Pro or Max, add 2 CNAME rows in the Subdomain Records section.

    Subdomain
    yoto1._domainkey
    Record Type
    CNAME
    IP Address / Destination
    yoto1.yotosend.com
    Subdomain
    yoto2._domainkey
    Record Type
    CNAME
    IP Address / Destination
    yoto2.yotosend.com

    Select Save Settings again. Setting up DKIM explains what these records do.

  6. Check the records in Mailyoto#

    In Mailyoto, open Domains, choose your domain, then open the DNS tab.

    Select Check DNS. Each record shows a tick when Mailyoto finds it, or a cross when it doesn’t.

    The DNS tab just after Check DNS, with a tick beside every record and a message below the tables saying the domain is verified.

    Mailyoto forwards email once it finds both MX records and the SPF record. The Forwarding pill at the top of the domain then shows a tick.

    The lunavera.com header in Mailyoto with the Forwarding and Sending pills, both ticked.

    Mailyoto also checks every domain again each day at 02:00 UTC. To watch an email arrive, use Send test (the paper plane) on an alias in the Forwarding tab.

If the domain doesn’t verify#

The records disappeared after saving

The domain is still on another service, such as Dynadot Parking. Open DNS Settings, choose Dynadot DNS, add the rows again and select Save Settings.

The MX records show a cross

Check that the priorities are exactly 10 for mx1.mailyoto.com and 20 for mx2.mailyoto.com. Mailyoto doesn’t accept other numbers. Also check that the priority and the mail server are in separate boxes.

The SPF record shows a cross

Look for a second TXT row starting with v=spf1. A domain with 2 SPF records fails the SPF check. Merge them into one.
