Use Paubox with Zoho Mail

Zoho Mail can be configured to route outbound mail through Paubox, to take advantage of Paubox's email encryption. Follow the steps below to integrate Paubox with Zoho Mail.

 

What you’ll need:

  1. A subscription with Paubox (don't have one? sign up here)
  2. A Zoho Mail account and access to the Zoho Mail Admin Console
  3. Domain: Admin access to your organization's domain host (for ex. GoDaddy or Cloudflare)

 

Step-by-step guide

 

Part 1: Your domain - update your records  

  1. Log in to your domain host
  2. Click on the Control Panel (may also be called DNS Zone Editor, or just DNS)
  3. If you see a record of type TXT with a value similar to: v=spf1 include:one.zoho.com -all
    • Edit the record and insert "include:_spf.paubox.com" just before the -all; for example:
      v=spf1 include:one.zoho.com include:_spf.paubox.com -all
    • Note: there may be other "includes" or IP numbers in the record, that is fine, just insert the "include:_spf.paubox.com" right before the -all
    • Note: an existing SPF record may end in "~all" ... change to "-all" for better email security
    • Click Save
  4. If you do not see a record of type TXT that starts with v=spf1, create a new one: 
    • In the Records section, click Add (may also be called Add Record)
    • For Type, enter TXT
    • In the Host field, type: @  (if it does not accept the @ symbol, enter your domain)
    • In the TXT value or Text field, type this line:

                 v=spf1 include:one.zoho.com include:_spf.paubox.com -all

    • Leave the default value in the TTL field
    • Click Save
