If you are using Plesk email through your hosting, your email-related DNS records can be found within the Advanced DNS settings of your Plesk interface. These records control how email is delivered and authenticated for your domain. If your email is not working or you need to re-add the proper records after a DNS change, you can review or recreate them within this section.
How to get to your advanced DNS:
Step 1.
Log in to your Rebel account, then select "Products" in the top-left corner. In the top toolbar, you will see "Hosting”. Please select this.
Step 2.
Select the button showing "Control Panel" for the wanted package; this will open the Plesk interface.
Step 3.
Below your domain name, you will see the option "Hosting & DNS", click this and then open "DNS".
Step 4.
Note: If only NS records are shown, click the "Enable" button in order to enable local DNS service for a domain.

mailPoints to: Your hosting server’s IP address
The IP address will depend on which server your hosting account is on. If you are unsure what IP address to use, please contact customer support, and we can confirm it for you.

An SPF record helps verify that your server is allowed to send email for your domain and helps reduce spam issues.
