If your domain uses Namecheap’s BasicDNS or PremiumDNS, follow these steps. Keep the VoraMail setup wizard open to copy the values.
Open Advanced DNS
- Sign in to Namecheap and go to Domain List.
- Click Manage next to your domain, then open the Advanced DNS tab.
Add the ownership TXT record
Under Host Records, click Add New Record:
- Type: TXT Record
- Host:
_voramail-verify - Value: the
voramail-verify=…value from the wizard - TTL: Automatic
Set Custom MX
Scroll to Mail Settings and choose Custom MX from the dropdown. Remove any existing MX entries, then add:
- Host:
@ - Value:
mail.voramail.bulletplushosting.com - Priority: 10
Namecheap’s “Email Forwarding” and “Private Email” options use their own MX records. Choose Custom MX so mail reaches VoraMail.
Add SPF, DKIM and DMARC
Back under Host Records, add three TXT records:
| Host | Value |
|---|---|
@ | the SPF value (v=spf1 …) from the wizard |
the DKIM host (ends in ._domainkey) | the v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=… value |
_dmarc | the DMARC value |
Namecheap appends your domain to the host automatically, so enter only the part before your domain. Keep only one SPF record: if a v=spf1 record already exists, edit it.
Click the green check mark to save each record.
Verify in VoraMail
Changes on Namecheap usually appear within 30 minutes. Click Verify DNS in the VoraMail wizard. If ownership fails, double-check the host is exactly _voramail-verify and the value has no extra spaces or quotes.
