Access the DNS Manager
Login to the Hosting Dashboard and Navigate to Domains -> My Domains. Select the domain you wish to modify. From the Domain Management menu, select DNS Management.

The DNS Manager provides a convenient interface to manage your domain's DNS records.
Configure DNS for Office 365 Apps
In the DNS Manager, scroll to the bottom of the records list. Select Configure Office 365, which add/replace the required DNS and MX records to utilize Office 365 Exchange email hosting.
The following DNS records are applied by the previous steps:
| Name/Host/Alias | TTL | Type | Priority | Value/Answer/Destination |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SIP.YOURDOMAIN.COM. | 3600 | CNAME | N/A | SIPDIR.ONLINE.LYNC.COM. |

| YOURDOMAIN.COM. | 3600 | TXT | N/A | "v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all" |
Add MX Record
You will also need to add an MX entry manually, as this record value is determined by Office 365. To get the appropriate value for your email server,
- Visit the domain configuration in Office 365.
- Select the appropriate domain that you are configuring.
- Under Exchange Online, copy the MX record provided, in the "Points to Address or Value" column.
- In the Rad Web Hosting DNS Manager for the domain, add the new MX values retrieved in the previous step.
- Save changes.
- Remove any other MX records for this domain.
Your domain is now configured for use with Microsoft Office 365.
