DNS records management in Mailforge, Infraforge and Primeforge

Learn where to find and edit DNS records for your domains in Mailforge, Infraforge and Primeforge, which records are locked, how to update many domains at once, and what to check before you save.

You can view and edit most DNS records of your domains yourself in Mailforge, Infraforge and Primeforge. Some records such as MX, SPF, and DKIM are locked and you need to reach out to support team to get help with them.

⚠ Important: edit DNS records with care. Mailforge, Infraforge and Primeforge manage the MX, SPF and DKIM records of your domains, and these records are locked. You can’t edit them yourself, either on a single domain or with Bulk DNS update. To change a locked record, contact our support team. You can edit other records and add your own. A wrong or deleted record can stop email delivery, send your emails to spam, or break your tracking domain. Only change a record if you know what it does.

Which records you can edit

  • Locked: MX, SPF and DKIM records. They have no edit option. To change one, contact our support team.

  • Editable: DMARC record and Domain forwarding records. You can also add your own records with Add new record.

This is the same in Mailforge, Infraforge and Primeforge.

What happens when you save

When you save a change, it shows in your account right away. It can then take some time to spread across the internet (propagate), so don’t expect every mail server to see the new value immediately. Before you save, copy the original value, so you can restore it if something goes wrong.

Bulk DNS update

Bulk DNS update lets you change a few records on several domains at once. It is available in Mailforge, Infraforge and Primeforge.

Important: bulk update changes the records on every domain you select. For DMARC and domain forward, the existing value is overwritten with the value you enter. A CNAME is added as a new record. Check your selection and values before you update, and note down the existing values first.

What you can change
