3.2. Conguring the DNS server
After logging into AMES, click in the domain overview on the tab Services.
To activate the scanning and ltering of incoming Emails, you have to adjust the MX-
settings in the DNS server for the domain of your provider. Only then will the „clean“
Emails be forwarded to your mail server. The correct records are in the order conr-
mation that you received via Email.
The MX records should look like this:
10 mx1.c01.avira.com
20 mx2.c01.avira.com
Note
Make sure there is no MX-record with a priority below 10; otherwise Emails from
your organization will not be scanned and ltered by AMES.
After directing the MX records to the Avira AMES cluster, the managed service is ac-
tive and will scan and lter the incoming Emails. The ltered and scanned Emails will
be delivered to the regular mailbox.
Note
Depending on the Time-To-Live (TTL) settings of your MX records, it might take
up to 24 hours before DNS changes become active. During this period it may hap-
pen that Emails will be delivered to your Email server over the old routing without
any AMES Filtering.
