After the domain is verified, you’ll need to create MX Records to link the domain to the mail service.
In the same Zone editor menu, click on the Add Record button and select MX records type. Add the following records:
Name Priority Destination
domain.com 10 mx.zoho.eu
domain.com 20 mx2.zoho.eu
domain.com 50 mx3.zoho.eu
NOTE: Depending on the data center location (US/UK/CN), the MX record values may vary for your domain. The correct MX records specific to your domain can be found in the Admin Control Panel.

NOTE: The provided MX values are based on general configuration information. For domain-specific configuration, refer to your Admin Control Panel.

To add these records, choose the TXT record as the record type, enter your domain name in the Name field, and input v=spf1 include:zoho.eu -all in the Record field.
Click on Add Record >> TXT type again, enter zoho._domainkey.domain.eu into the Name field (if ‘zoho’ was specified as the selector in the Zoho Control Panel), and insert the corresponding value of the DKIM record, which you copied from the TXT record value field in your Zoho account, into the Record field.
