Connect your domain

One DNS record, and every address on your domain becomes a mailbox here. There is no second step: no account, no verification page, no key to keep. The first message that arrives is what connects the domain.

  1. Add this MX record at your DNS provider

    TypeMX
    Name@
    Priority10
    Value — the part you paste smtp.grabmail.io

    Delete every other MX record on the domain. Mail can only be delivered to one place, and a leftover record from a previous provider takes part of your traffic in silence. We accept a domain only when we are its single MX, for exactly that reason.

  2. There is no step two

    Send anything to any address on your domain. We look the MX up as the message arrives; if it points here, the domain is connected on the spot and that first message is kept — not bounced, not lost while something is activated. Read it at https://grabmail.io/inbox/anything@yourdomain.com or through the same API as everything else.

Read this before you point a domain here

Mail on your domain is readable by anyone who knows the address, exactly like our public domains — there is no key and no password on it. That is the trade for having no account: nothing identifies an owner, so nothing can be locked to one. Use it for throwaway signups, for testing, for an address you print on a page. Do not use it for anything you would mind a stranger reading.

What you get

  • Every address on the domain, created on the fly
  • Working from the first message — nothing to activate
  • Your domain never appears anywhere on this site
  • The same API, and the same 5-day retention
  • Free, like the rest of it

No domain of your own? A paid plan gives API access to 92 private .com domains, kept off the disposable-mail blocklists — see the plans.
