    Re: setting up home email server

    Hi @kdmiller45. Based on what you've said, I'm guessing you're planning on using GoDaddy nameservers to manage your DNS. As far as essentials go, you'll need at least an MX record and an A record that supports it. For example, if you want to use mail.yourdomain.com as your MX record, then you'd need to create an A record for "mail" that points to the IP of your mail server. You'll probably also want to create an SPF record. Hope that helps.
