Before you start

You do not need your own domain to try EmailGang, because every account can create clones on emailgang.com. A custom domain is for when you want addresses like [email protected]. Free plans can own one domain, and paid plans can add more.

Step 1: add the domain

Sign in, open the domain section of the dashboard and add yourdomain.com.

Step 2: verify ownership

Add the TXT record shown in the dashboard (named _emailgang-verify) at your DNS provider, wait for DNS to update, then click Verify. Unverified claims expire after 48 hours so unused names are not locked.

Step 3: create a clone

Create an address such as [email protected]. That address is what mail will be sent from.

Step 4: add mail DNS records

Add the records at your registrar or DNS host, not inside EmailGang, and keep your existing website records so your site does not move.

  • SPF: a TXT record on the root. If you already have one, add the mail server entry to it instead of creating a second SPF record.
  • DKIM: use Generate DKIM key in the dashboard, which shows the exact TXT value to publish under dkim._domainkey.
  • DMARC: a TXT record named _dmarc, for example v=DMARC1; p=none; to start monitoring.

Step 5: send and receive

Read and reply in the dashboard, or connect a website using per-clone SMTP credentials. See the guide on sending website email through SMTP.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to move my website to use EmailGang?
No. You only change mail-related DNS records. Your existing website records can stay where they are.
How long does domain verification last?
Unverified claims expire after 48 hours, so add the TXT record promptly.
