Topic: Setting up DNS

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====

- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Debian 10

====

Hello, today I discovered iRedMail for me and decided to play a bit around.
Sending and receiving e-mails on my own network works pretty fine.

Now I have to set up the DNS entries. According to https://docs.iredmail.org/setup.dns.html  it shouldn't be a problem.
But where do I have to set up those records?
etc/hosts and etc/hostname? Or do I need something like cloudflare.com?

Thanks in advance :-)

Do you use a domain name you own for mail server? Where did you buy this domain name? You should go to your DNS vendor's website to figure out how to manage the DNS records of your domain name.
