Recipes
Use these recipes to make your DNS more awesome than it already is (which is pretty awesome!).
(There’s only one recipe so far, lol.)
Protect a domain that doesn’t send or receive email
This recipe adds some protection to a domain that isn’t being used for email. It consists of these DNS records:
- MX A null MX record that prevents any email sent to the domain from being delivered to any mail server RFC 7505
- TXT An SPF record that indicates that there are no IP addresses or domains allowed to send email, and to reject any such email RFC 7208
- TXT A DKIM record without a public key, which will cause DKIM lookups to fail and trigger the DMARC policy below
- TXT A DMARC record that instructs mail services to reject any emails for which SPF and DKIM fail

Use your domain with Micro.blog
This recipe configures your domain (or, if you prefer, a subdomain) for use with Micro.blog. It adds one or both of these records:
- A An A record that points to 104.200.22.214, which is Micro.blog’s server
- CNAME A CNAME record that works with your Micro.blog page
