Login into your Yandex.Connect (formerly known as Yandex Custom Domain Mail). At the dashboard page click on the Admin tools option (the gear icon) to open the administration panel. In the administration panel select your domain (at the top in the left menu) that you want to manage if you have multiple domains in your account. If you only have one domain it will default to it automatically.

From there on click on DNS management in the left menu. It will open a list with DNS entries that exist at Yandex.Connect for your domain if you would have hosted your domain with the Yandex.Connect DNS servers. The important DNS records for you are shown below in the screenshot and are highlighted by red borders.

DNS record list:


The first record at the top is the MX record with the information: a) hostname @ equals your root domain (you can really just use @ as the hostname in your DNS manager when creating this MX record), b) the Yandex MX server and c) the priority of the MX server (rather important if Yandex would have multiple MX servers). The second record is the SPF and the third record is the DKIM record.

Now you have the three DNS records that you need to create at your DNS management panel at your domain registrar or wherever you actually create DNS records like A, AAAA, TXT and etc for your domain. That very well could be your VestaCP server if you have your domain and hosting for it managed there.


So login into your DNS management panel and create the MX record and the two TXT records (SPF and DKIM actually don't have their own DNS record type so they're TXT records). The DNS list at Yandex.Connect provides all information needed to create the records.

At the end your records should look like this (I use 1984.is for DNS management for my eu.org domains):



After that all there is waiting for you is the waiting game until the DNS records are fully valid across the world.
