To use Yandex mail for a domain, change the MX records in the DNS zone according to Yandex instructions.
- Open DNS or MX records management for the domain.
- Remove old MX records if the domain should no longer use hosting mail.
- Add the Yandex MX record with the required priority.
- Disable local mail handling if mail is processed by Yandex.
- Save the DNS zone and wait for propagation.
After the change, send a test message and check SPF, DKIM and DMARC settings.
What to check after following this guide
After changing settings, make sure the result works not only in the control panel but also for real website visitors or mailbox users. Test without browser cache and avoid changing many settings at once unless you know exactly what each change does.
For domains, check which DNS records are visible from outside. If records were changed recently, some networks may still use the old values until DNS propagation is complete.
- check the name servers at the registrar;
- verify A, MX, TXT, CNAME or other required records;
- wait for DNS propagation if the change was recent.
When to contact GoodNet support
If the guide is not enough, contact GoodNet support. Include the domain, service name, when the issue started, what you already checked and the exact error text. This helps support move directly to diagnostics.
Practical tip
If this guide affects a live website, domain or mailbox, check the result from the user side after making changes: open the page without browser cache, send a test email or verify the required record with an external tool. Keep the previous settings until you are sure the new configuration works correctly.
When contacting GoodNet support, prepare the domain name, service name, a short description of the issue, when it started and a screenshot or the exact error text. This helps support identify the cause faster and avoids repeating basic checks.
