  2. Go to the "DNS" or "Domain Name System" section.
  3. Create the following DNS records:
    • @ (root) record: MX record with the value mx.yahoodns.net (priority 10)
    • @ (root) record: TXT record with the value v=spf1 include:spf.yahoodns.net -all
    • @ (root) record: CNAME record with the value mail.yahoodns.net
