Business Email Setup

Microsoft 365 set up correctly —
the first time.

Most M365 setups miss the DNS records that make email work properly. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC aren't optional — without them, your email goes to spam and you don't know it.

What the Setup Covers

There's more to M365 setup than clicking through the wizard.

Microsoft's setup wizard gets you most of the way there — but it doesn't always configure SPF correctly, it doesn't enable DKIM by default in all regions, and it doesn't set a DMARC policy. These three records are what determine whether your email lands in inboxes or spam folders.

We configure M365 the way it's supposed to be configured — domain verified, MX records correct, all three authentication records set, mailboxes created, and migration handled if you're moving from Gmail or another provider.

01
Domain verification
Add the verification TXT record to your domain DNS to prove ownership to Microsoft.
02
MX record configuration
Update MX records to route email to Microsoft 365 mail servers.
03
SPF, DKIM, DMARC
All three authentication records configured correctly — not just the ones the wizard adds automatically.
04
Mailbox creation
Create email addresses for your team. you@yourdomain.com live and ready.
05
Migration and verification
Migrate existing email if needed. Verify deliverability before handoff.
Why DNS Records Matter

Three records that determine whether your email gets delivered.

Receiving mail servers check these records before deciding whether to deliver your email. Miss any one of them and your email is more likely to land in spam — even from a properly configured Microsoft 365 account.

This is the most common email problem we see. The account is set up, Microsoft 365 is working, but email is going to junk. It's almost always because one of these three records is missing or incorrect.

SPF Record
Specifies who can send email on your domain's behalf
Without SPF, anyone can spoof your domain — and receiving servers know it. A missing or incorrect SPF record is a direct path to spam.
DKIM Record
Cryptographically signs outgoing email
DKIM adds a digital signature to your email that receiving servers verify. Microsoft 365 generates the key — it just needs to be published in your DNS.
DMARC Record
Tells servers what to do with email that fails authentication
DMARC ties SPF and DKIM together and gives receiving servers a policy to follow. Without it, there's no enforcement — even if SPF and DKIM are set.
