How to create mail id in reserve domain

To create a mail ID in a reserved domain, you'll need to set up a mail server and configure it to handle email for your reserved domain. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Reserved Domain: A reserved domain is a domain name that is not available for public registration, but is instead reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) or a registry for specific purposes. Examples of reserved domains include example.com, localhost, and test.com.

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a reserved domain (e.g., example.com).
  2. You have a mail server (e.g., Postfix, Sendmail, or Microsoft Exchange).
  3. You have a domain name system (DNS) provider (e.g., Cloudflare, Google Cloud DNS, or your registrar's DNS service).

Step 1: Set up your mail server

  1. Install and configure your mail server software on a server or virtual private server (VPS).
  2. Configure the mail server to listen on a specific port (e.g., 25 for SMTP).
  3. Set up the mail server's configuration files (e.g., main.cf for Postfix) to define the domain and mail server settings.

Step 2: Create a mail exchanger (MX) record

  1. Log in to your DNS provider's control panel.
  2. Create a new MX record for your reserved domain (e.g., example.com).
  3. Set the MX record's priority to a low value (e.g., 10) to ensure that email is routed to your mail server.
  4. Set the MX record's target to the hostname of your mail server (e.g., mail.example.com).

Step 3: Create a mail server hostname

  1. Create a new hostname for your mail server (e.g., mail.example.com).
  2. Set the hostname's IP address to the IP address of your mail server.

Step 4: Configure your mail server's DNS settings

  1. Update your mail server's configuration files to include the MX record and hostname.
  2. Configure your mail server to use the MX record and hostname for email routing.

Step 5: Test your mail server

  1. Send an email to your reserved domain's email address (e.g., [email protected]).
  2. Verify that the email is delivered to your mail server and can be retrieved using a mail client (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird).

Additional Tips:

By following these steps, you should be able to create a mail ID in your reserved domain and start sending and receiving email.
