01

A few DNS records and it is live

At your registrar, add the MX and verification records the console gives you, then wait for DNS to propagate. The console shows the live status of each record, so a misconfigured one is obvious rather than mysterious.

  • Add the MX records shown
  • Live propagation status
  • Usable the moment it verifies
02

Catch-all: any prefix works

With catch-all on, mail to shop@, news@ or any prefix you invent on the spot is received and forwarded. Make up an address at the sign-up form without creating it in the console first.

  • Invent addresses on the spot
  • No pre-registration needed
  • Still traceable to the site
03

The domain is yours to take back

You own the domain; we only receive and forward. Move to another service, or run your own, by pointing the MX records elsewhere — your addresses are never locked inside our platform.

  • Ownership stays with you
  • Change MX to move out
  • No platform lock-in

FAQ

About custom domain email

How do I connect my own domain?

Enter the domain in the console, add the MX and verification records it lists to your registrar’s DNS, then wait for DNS to propagate. The console reports the live status of every record, so you can see at a glance which one has not taken effect yet.

Which DNS records do I need for a custom domain?

Mainly MX records pointing your domain at the NexMask mail servers, plus one record proving you own the domain. The console lists exactly what to paste, line by line.

What is a catch-all email address?

Catch-all means every prefix on the domain is received. With it on you can invent [email protected] at a sign-up form without creating that address first — the mail still arrives, and you can still tell which site wrote to it.

How many domains can I connect?

Members can connect several, each with its own aliases and forwarding targets. Keeping a personal domain and a project domain separate is the common arrangement.

How is a custom domain different from a normal alias?

Functionally both are anonymous aliases with forwarding; the difference is the suffix. Normal aliases use the shared NexMask domain and work out of the box. A custom domain looks like your own address and is unaffected if a site decides to block a public alias domain.

What happens if the domain expires or I move it?

The domain is always yours. To move to another service, point the MX records elsewhere — nothing is locked in. If the domain expires, DNS stops resolving and mail stops reaching us; renew it and everything resumes.

Can I send mail from my own domain?

Yes. Once the domain verifies you can both receive at [email protected] and send as that address from the console, so the recipient sees your own domain as the sender.

Is a custom domain free?

Connecting your own domain is a membership feature. The free plan uses the shared NexMask domain for one long-lived alias — the same anonymous forwarding, just not on a suffix of your own.

Put your aliases on a domain you own

A few DNS records, then any prefix works — the address is yours, the privacy work is still ours.
