The Domains section of the Host Console is where you add and manage every domain protected by MailChannels Inbound Filtering. You can add domains one at a time, upload them in bulk using a CSV file, configure domain aliases, and provision parked domains. Once a domain is added, you can search for it, access its settings, and log in to the Domain Console to configure users, downstream mail servers, and safelists.

​

Confirm the result

A confirmation message displays the number of domains successfully added, and the new domain appears in the list below

​
Add domains in bulk using a CSV file

You can add up to 1,000 domains at once by uploading a CSV file. Each row in the file represents one domain and its downstream mail server address or addresses.
1

Prepare the CSV file

Create a plain text file with one domain per line. Do not include column headers. Each row must contain the domain name followed by its downstream address in target:port or target:port:weight format. The downstream address tells MailChannels where to deliver filtered mail after scanning.For domains with multiple downstream targets, enclose all addresses in double quotes and separate them with commas:
example.com,mx.example.com:25
example2.com,"mx.example.com:25:10,mx2.example.com:25"
The weight value is optional. When you specify multiple downstream addresses, MailChannels uses the weight to determine delivery priority. A lower weight means higher priority.
2

Upload the file in Host Console

From the Dashboard, click Inbound, then click Domains. Click Add New Domains, choose the file upload option, select your CSV file, and click Add.
3

Review the results

After the upload completes, a summary message confirms how many domains were added successfully. Any rows that failed to import are reported so you can correct and re-upload them.

​
Add a domain alias

Domain aliasing lets you associate additional domain names with an existing primary domain. Aliases share the same downstream delivery path, spam policy, and quarantine settings as the primary domain and do not count against your filtered domain quota. See Domain aliases for full details and setup instructions.

​
Search for a domain

  1. From the Dashboard, click Inbound, then click Domains.
  2. Type your search terms into the Search by domain field.
  3. Press Enter or click the magnifying glass button.
The list filters to show matching domains. You can search by exact match or partial match.

​
Manage domain settings

To configure settings for a specific domain, click Login next to the domain in the Domains list. This opens the Domain Console for that domain, where you can manage:
  • Users and user policies
  • Domain administrators
  • MX records and downstream mail server addresses
  • Safelists and blocklists

​
API-key domain association

You can associate groups of domains with specific API keys rather than managing all domains under a single key. This limits the blast radius if a key is ever compromised — only the domains associated with that key are at risk. See Automate inbound domain management with the Provisioning API for details.
