Hi, metadata.
It sounds scary to set up glue records, but so is setting up all of the DNS records manually that you'd need for really good mail: MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and if you want secure DNS and/or mandatory encryption on the wire you'll want DANE records and zone signing.
Mail-in-a-Box wants to take over your DNS because it wants to take care of all of this for you. If you run your own DNS, it's still secure. An alternative is to use a new domain name.
Thanks for the feedback.

- iurisilvio 12y agoI had the same problem. Also, I had some DKIM and SPF already configured to external SMTP server. I understand your message, but it is not clear in Mail-in-a-Box interface. What exactly is the problem with my own DNS server? If I want to work without DANE, I can just add all these new records to my DNS and it works out of the box? I started to setup a personal email server several times and abandoned it because it is just too difficult. This time, it was easy. Thanks!
