Emails going to spam
If your emails are hosted on the Duport platform you may need to add an SFP record onto your domain. This is done in the ‘Manage Domain’, ‘DNS Mangement’ section in your Control Panel. Add the below record into the text box of the TXT Record. You can only have 1 spf record at any one time, and only if we host your emails.
v=spf1 include:secureserver.net exists:%{i}.mta.spf.extendcp.co.uk exists:%{i}.web.spf.extendcp.co.uk -all
How do I create a new email account for my domain name?

- Click ‘Add’
- The account will now be created and you can see it under ‘Modify Mail Boxes’
- Once you have created the mailbox, it can take up to 60 minutes to be fully in place, but after that time, you will be able to send and receive emails to that address.
How can I access my emails?
You can access your emails via
- Your hosting account https://www.duport.co.uk/domain-registration/login
- https://www.outitgoes.com
- Third party mail client, such as Outlook, Mac Mail or mobile device.
What is an IMAP?
By using an IMAP connection, you can have multiple clients simultaneously connected to the same mailbox. For example, you can have email on your phone, your tablet, and your computer, and when you delete a message from your phone, it will also be deleted on your other devices, for this reason we recommend using IMAP over POP3.
How can I change my DNS records?
If you have domain and hosting you can access your domains control panel via your hosting account log in https://www.duport.co.uk/domain-registration/login then click Manage Domain.
If you have domain name only you will need to contact support@duport.co.uk to request your control panel password.

Email support@duport.co.uk
How can I deal with spam/junk mail?
Unfortunately spam emails are a fact of life, we all get them.
However, there are some filters within your control panel. These can be found under ‘Junk Mail Filters’ within the Email section of the control panel.
If you are receiving a lot of spam mail from one specific sender, you can block that sender. Simply put in the ‘reject by sender’ section and click ‘update’.
Receiving spam from multiple addresses: under the ‘Junk Mail Filter Levels’ you have the options of Low, Medium, High and Extremely High. You can choose the level you required from the drop-down arrow within this area of the control panel. We would advise only going up by one level at a time and checking that emails are not miss filtered into junk.
What is an SSL certificate?
SSL certificates are an essential part of website security. They ensure all data passed between a web server and browsers remains secure. That’s why web browsers are pushing all websites to have SSL certificates, and are marking those without them as “Not Secure

Why can’t I send emails?
- Your mailbox could be full.
- Log into your domain control to check your mailbox capacity. If it’s nearing 100% you will need to delete some of your emails or increase your mailbox size.

How to connect a domain to WiX/ Square Space website:
Connecting your domain to another provider can be done in 2 ways.
- If your hosting is with Duport and you want to redirect your website but keep your email facility with Duport you will need to provide us with the new websites DNS records.
- These are usually an A record and/or Cname record.
- A records are an IP address such as: 12.34.567.4
- And a Cname record is usually: www.thisisdns45.net
- This will be provided to you from the website provider by email or found within the account you have with them- for example your WIX account.
If you have a domain name only service with us or your new provider is going to host your website and emails then you will need to provide us with the new hosting providers’ NAMESERVERS.
These can vary between 2 and 4 servers which usually look like:
