How to Add Your Custom Domain to TempMail

Step-by-step guide to setting up your own domain for receiving temporary emails with TempMail.

Why Add Your Own Domain?

Using your own domain for temporary email gives you a professional appearance, brand consistency, and full control over your disposable email addresses.

Prerequisites

  • A domain name you own (e.g., yourdomain.com)
  • Access to your domain's DNS settings (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.)

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Add MX Record

Log in to your DNS provider and add this record:

| Type | Host | Value | Priority | |---|---|---|---| | MX | @ | mail.mailmomy.com | 10 |

Step 2: Wait for DNS Propagation

DNS changes typically take 5-30 minutes to propagate worldwide. You can check progress using:

dig MX yourdomain.com

Step 3: Verify on TempMail

  1. Visit Add Domain
  2. Enter your domain name
  3. Click Check DNS to verify the MX record
  4. Once verified, click Add Domain

Step 4: Start Using

Go to Inbox, select your domain from the dropdown, and create any email address like hello@yourdomain.com.

Important Notes

  • We check MX records daily. If you remove the MX record, your domain will be deactivated
  • If you re-add the MX record, your domain will be automatically re-activated
  • All emails are subject to the same auto-delete policy
  • You can add unlimited domains

Troubleshooting

MX check fails?

  • Wait 30 minutes for DNS propagation
  • Ensure no conflicting MX records exist
  • Check that the MX value is exactly mail.mailmomy.com

Not receiving emails?

  • Verify the MX record is active: dig MX yourdomain.com
  • Ensure the domain is shown as "Active" on the Add Domain page
