For customers who want to connect their hosting account to G Suite mail, we have prepared this tutorial.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Editing an MX record doesn\u2019t tell you anything, and you associate SPF with sunscreen cream? Or aren\u2019t quite sure how to do it? In this step-by-step tutorial, I\u2019ll walk you through connecting G Suite with Smarthost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you should do is log in to cPanel. You can do this by typing into your browser window: customer-domain.eu\/cpanel (where customer-domain is the address of your website).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Edit DNS zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After logging into cPanel, go to Zone Editor, then to \u201cManage\u201d next to the domain of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We then edit the MX record according to google\u2019s guidelines, and add the missing ones, as in the example below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Name\/host\/alias<\/strong><\/td>TTL (Time to Live)* value.<\/strong><\/td>Record type<\/strong><\/td>Priority<\/strong><\/td>Value\/response\/destination<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
customer-domain.eu.<\/td>3600<\/td>MX<\/td>1<\/td>ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.<\/td><\/tr>
customer-domain.eu.<\/td>3600<\/td>MX<\/td>5<\/td>ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.<\/td><\/tr>
customer-domain.eu.<\/td>3600<\/td>MX<\/td>5<\/td>ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.<\/td><\/tr>
customer-domain.eu.<\/td>3600<\/td>MX<\/td>10<\/td>ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.<\/td><\/tr>
customer-domain.eu.<\/td>3600<\/td>MX<\/td>10<\/td>ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After adding all the records, we return back to the hosting account management panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPF \u2013\u00a0Sender Policy Framework<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We explained its principle of operation in the entry:\u00a0SPF and DKIM -protection against spam<\/a>. Now we need to attach the record required by G Suite which we will do by going to Email Deliverability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When we get to the feature we are interested in, we click the \u201cmanage\u201d button next to the selected domain, go to the SPF section and click \u201ccustomize\u201d, where at the bottom of the settings there is an Include List (INCLUDE) option \u2013 we click \u201cAdd A New \u2018+include\u2019 Item\u201d. Then add an entry as in the screenshot below and click \u201cInstall a customized SPF record\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Email Routing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the final step to connect our accounts. In cPanel, we go to \u201cEmail Routing\u201d and then switch to remote mode as shown in the following screenshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
