For information on how to setup a Mailgun account, see article "Mailgun Setup". If you are transferring your domain into Cloudflare from another DNS provider, please do so before continuing with this article. ### **Step 1: Retrieve MX and TXT records from Mailgun** Log into your account in Mailgun and add a domain from the top menu bar. Once your domain is added, you will see that Mailgun gives you a few MX records and TXT records to be added for your domain, for both successful email forwarding and verification of the domain. ### **Step 2: Add MX and TXT records into CloudFlare** ### **Choose your site and select DNS Settings** * Add the CNAME record. Name = email, Value = mailgun.org, TTL = Automatic **(these are examples, please use the actual items from your account)** * **IMPORTANT:** Make sure the Cloudflare cloud is gray and not orange/active => You have to click on the cloud icon to change this to DNS only * Add the two MX records **(these are examples, please use the actual items from your account)** * Name = domain.com (no www), value = mxa.mailgun.org, Priority = 10 * Name = domain.com (no www), value = mxb.mailgun.org Priority = 10 * Add the two TXT records **(these are examples, please use the actual items from your account)** * Name= domain.com (no www), value = v=spf1… * Name = smtp.\_domainkey, value = k=rsa… ### **Step 3: Add your mail routes in Mailgun** 1. Log into your Mailgun account and go to Routes section from the top menu. Now add as many routes as you want. * For example, if your domain is example.com and you want the mail sent to to be forwarded to , then that would be a route. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
