If you use non-cdmon DNS servers, you need to create some records manually so that you can access the SOGo web application correctly.
These records tell the Internet where the SOGo service is located for your domain. Without them, you will not be able to open the web application from your custom domain and some internal functions, such as managing calendars and contacts within the web application itself, may not work properly.
Here are what records to add.
Access to the SOGo webmail manager
Create the following CNAME record on your DNS server:
| Type | Name/Host | Value (Destination) |
|---|
| CNAME | sogo | mail.tudomain.tld |
Important: Substitute tudominio.tld for your real domain. Example: if your domain ismidominio.com, the value would be mail.midomain.com
Synchronization of calendar and contacts
In order for the web application to display calendars and contacts, create the following SRV and TXT records.
| Name/Host | Type | Priority | Weight | Puerto Rico | Destination |
|---|
| _caldav._tcp | SRV | 0 | 0 | 443 | sogo.tutomain.tld |
| _caldavs._tcp | SRV | 0 | 0 | 443 | sogo.tutomain.tld |
| _carddav._tcp | SRV | 0 | 0 | 443 | sogo.tutomain.tld |
| _carddavs._tcp | SRV | 0 | 0 | 443 | sogo.tutomain.tld |
Important: Substitute tudominio.tld for your real domain. Example: if your domain ismidominio.com, the value would be mail.midomain.com
| Name/Host | Type | Value |
|---|
| _caldav._tcp | TXT | path=/SOGo/dav/ |
| _caldavs._tcp | TXT | path=/SOGo/dav/ |
| _carddav._tcp | TXT | path=/SOGo/dav/ |
| _carddavs._tcp | TXT | path=/SOGo/dav/ |
Once the records are created, wait a few minutes (according to the spread of DNS) and verify that you can access correctly:
https://sogo.tudominio.tld
If everything works, the SOGo settings with your external domain will be ready.
