The MX record sends all of a domain's mail here, so use a subdomain that receives no other mail, such as inbound.acme.com, and keep your own mailboxes on the main domain.

What if the records change?

They are checked again every day. After three failed checks in a row the domain lapses and its mail is refused until the records are back; check them again from the page.

How are extra domains billed?

Each extra domain is $3 a month, renewed with your plan. Domains added mid-period are charged in full and count at once; fewer apply at the renewal. Domains past what the plan allows stay listed, but mail to the most recently verified ones is refused.

What happens if I leave Business?

Its domains stop receiving mail, and extra domains end with the plan. The same goes for a team when its Team Business ends.

Can another account take my domain?

Only by proving it: if another account adds its own TXT record and yours is gone, your hold on the domain lapses at once, because whoever controls its DNS decides where its mail goes.

Can I sign up with an address on the domain?

No. An address at a verified domain cannot be used to sign up for an account, because its mail can be read here.

Business and Team Business

Receive mail at your own domain

Senders write to an address on a domain you own, such as orders@inbound.acme.com, instead of one at mailhooks.cc. Add the domain, prove it with a TXT record, point its MX at our mail host, and choose the endpoint for each address. From there it works as mailhooks.cc addresses do: layouts, destinations, alerts and replay.

Business includes 1 domain and Team Business 1 per team; each extra one is $3 a month.

Set it up

1
Add the domain
Under Account > Domains (a team's on the team's page, by its owner), enter a subdomain that receives no other mail, such as inbound.acme.com.
2
Add two DNS records
A TXT record at _mailhooks.inbound.acme.com with the token the page shows, and an MX record for inbound.acme.com that points at mx.mailhooks.cc.
3
Check the records
Check records looks them up; DNS changes can take a while to show. Once the domain is verified, its mail is accepted within a minute.
4
Choose where its mail goes
An address per endpoint, such as orders@ to one and invoices@ to another, and an endpoint for any other address, or refuse those.

Every setting, in full: Your own domain in the docs

The two records

For inbound.acme.com, added where the domain's DNS is managed. The TXT record proves the domain is yours; the MX record sends its mail to us.

DNS records for a custom inbound domain
Type	Name	Value
TXT	_mailhooks.inbound.acme.com	mailhooks-verify= and the page's token
MX	inbound.acme.com	mx.mailhooks.cc

Each address to its endpoint

Only endpoints on the account, or shared with the team, can receive a domain's mail. Each one then reads its emails with its own layouts and sends them to its own destinations.

Where a domain's mail goes
Mail to	Goes to
orders@inbound.acme.com	The Orders endpoint
orders+test@inbound.acme.com	The Orders endpoint, tagged test
invoices@inbound.acme.com	The Invoices endpoint
any other address	A catch-all endpoint, or refused
