Google WorkSpace Settings for Email

To get Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) email working with your domain through cPanel, you need to configure the DNS settings, particularly the MX records. Here’s a step-by-step guide to do that:

✅ Step 1: Remove Old Email Records (If Any)

In cPanel:

1. Go to Zone Editor.
2. Locate your domain and click Manage.
3. Remove any existing MX, SPF, and DKIM records that are related to your previous email provider.

✅ Step 2: Add Google Workspace MX Records

You’ll need to add the following MX records for your domain:

In cPanel:

1. Go to Zone Editor > Manage for your domain.
2. Click Add Record > Choose MX.
3. Set each record as above (Priority and Destination).
4. Set TTL to default (or 3600 seconds).

✅ Step 3: Add SPF Record for Google (Optional but Recommended)

Add this TXT record:

✅ Step 4: Add DKIM Record (from Google Admin)

After enabling DKIM in Google Admin Console:

1. Google will provide a TXT record like this:

Add that in cPanel under Zone Editor.

✅ Step 5: Add DMARC Record (Optional but Encouraged)

You can change the policy from none to quarantine or reject once everything is working.

✅ Step 6: Set Email Routing in cPanel

In cPanel:

1. Go to Email Routing.
2. Select your domain.
3. Choose: Remote Mail Exchanger.
4. Click Save.

✅ Final Step: Test Email Delivery

• Wait up to 48 hours for DNS propagation.
• Send test emails to and from your Google Workspace account to verify it’s working.
