Uta email serverless

You're looking for information on how to set up an email serverless solution using UTA (University of Texas at Arlington) as the domain.

UTA provides a cloud-based email service called Microsoft 365, which includes Exchange Online and Office 365. To set up an email serverless solution using UTA as the domain, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify your UTA domain

To use UTA as your domain, you'll need to verify it with Microsoft. You can do this by following these steps:

  1. Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center and sign in with your UTA credentials.
  2. Click on "Settings" and then "Domain" from the menu.
  3. Click on "Add a domain" and enter your UTA domain (e.g., @uta.edu).
  4. Follow the instructions to verify your domain ownership.

Step 2: Set up a DNS record

To set up a DNS record for your UTA domain, you'll need to create a TXT record. This record will verify your domain ownership and allow you to use UTA as your domain.

  1. Go to your UTA DNS provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) and log in to your account.
  2. Create a new TXT record with the following settings:
    • Host: @ (or leave blank)
    • Type: TXT
    • Value: "MS=ms"
    • TTL: 3600 (or leave default)
  3. Save the changes to your DNS record.

Step 3: Set up an MX record

To set up an MX record, you'll need to create a new record that points to Microsoft's mail servers. This will allow emails sent to your UTA domain to be routed to Microsoft's servers.

  1. Go to your UTA DNS provider and log in to your account.
  2. Create a new MX record with the following settings:
    • Host: @ (or leave blank)
    • Type: MX
    • Priority: 0
    • Value: "mx1.outlook.com"
    • TTL: 3600 (or leave default)
  3. Save the changes to your DNS record.

Step 4: Set up an SPF record

To set up an SPF record, you'll need to create a new record that specifies which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of your UTA domain.

  1. Go to your UTA DNS provider and log in to your account.
  2. Create a new TXT record with the following settings:
    • Host: @ (or leave blank)
    • Type: TXT
    • Value: "v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all"
    • TTL: 3600 (or leave default)
  3. Save the changes to your DNS record.

Step 5: Set up an email client

Once you've set up your DNS records, you can set up an email client (e.g., Outlook, Gmail, etc.) to use your UTA domain.

  1. Open your email client and sign in with your UTA credentials.
  2. Configure your email client to use your UTA domain (e.g., @uta.edu).

That's it! You should now have a serverless email solution using UTA as your domain.
