Safer inbound domain setup
We changed domain setup to be safer by default.
- New domains start as sending-only. Adding a domain no longer assumes Postscale should receive mail for it. Existing mailbox delivery stays with your current MX provider unless you explicitly enable inbound routing.
- Free inbound remains available. Free accounts can test inbound email with
one inbound subdomain, such as
inbound.example.com, and up to two inbound aliases/routes. - Risky root-domain changes are explicit. Root-domain inbound, catch-all, and combined send/receive domains require a paid plan or manual review.
- The dashboard now explains MX impact. Inbound setup asks for an explicit acknowledgement because MX changes can affect where mailbox mail is delivered.
For most teams, use your root domain as a sending domain and use an inbound subdomain for webhooks. For details, see Domain Setup and Inbound Webhooks.
