Setting up Squarespace with Fastmail

If you have a domain that is managed by Squarespace, it can be set up with Fastmail for email hosting. The DNS records for the domain will need to be updated in order to properly configure it.

Squarespace has an automatic setup option and a manual setup option for adding the DNS records.

2. Click the domain you're setting up.
3. In the side panel, click DNS.
4. Click Add preset in the top-right corner, then select Fastmail from the dropdown menu.
