Thanks very much for helping me @rudra and @"Hidden Refuge".  This is much appreciated.

My nose is in the direction of VestaCP for changes.  The way Hidden put it, it sounds about right.  I haven't made any changes at the domain registrar.

I already had done most of what HR had suggested at VestaCP:

I edited my MX record in VestaCP with the Yandex MX info
I edited my SPF record in VestaCP with the Yandex info

I then hesitated with the DKIM as when I tried to add it, VestaCP automatically added the host server name to the mail name that is given by Yandex.  Instead of just "mail" it said "mail._domainkey.name.host". Was wonderful though as when I submitted it VestaCP magically fixed it so it didn't have the extension added to it, so it should be OK now.  I have all three records in my VestaCP.

There's a record that wasn't in the DNS Records for my domain in VestaCP - CName - I've added that too with Yandex CName - was that OK to do?

mail       CNAME      domain.mail.yandex.net.

VestaCP has another TXT entry as well that I wonder if I have to remove it?  Like it looks like an e-mail authentication record even though I haven't installed an e-mail server on VestaCP - will it conflict with DKIM?:

_dmarc  TXT  "v=DMARC1; p=none"

Should I remove the above?


I now have 14 DNS records in VestaCP for the domain.  

1. CNAME (Yandex)

2. DKIM (Yandex)

3. SPF (Yandex)

4. MX (Yandex)

5. DMARC1 (VestaCP)

6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. are all A records
IMAP, pop, SMTP, mail, ftp, www, @ for my IP (VestaCP)

13. and 14. are the two name servers in VestaCP, which are my registered name servers with my Domain Registrar

After all of the above Yandex Dashboard Domain still says MX records haven't been set up. I probably need to wait for the DNS to propagate.
