The following records are required for domains with email hosted by Irish Domains:

 NAME  TYPE  TTL  PREFERENCE  EXCHANGE
 @  MX  3600  10  mail.email.ie

 

 NAME  TYPE  TTL  VALUE
 @  TXT  3600  "v=spf1 a mx include:spf.id.ie ~all"

Additionally, the following default DMARC record is suggested. 
If it does not exist, it can be added as shown, but should be afterwards modified appropriately according to your email policy requirements.

 NAME  TYPE  TTL  VALUE
 _dmarc  TXT  3600  "v=DMARC1; p=none;"


If the domain is the primary domain on your hosting or email service, usually the above records will have been configured by default.

You should configure these records for any add-on domains on your service, or where DNS has recently moved back to Irish Domains.

This can be done via your Irish Domains account, by clicking "Domains" -> "Manage DNS" and clicking the "Edit DNS Zone" icon beside the domain in question.

Where an email domain is on the name servers of an external DNS provider, these records should instead be configured via that provider's system.
