How to add IONOS Email DNS to the Azure portal

Question

I am trying to set up a DNS record to allow me to receive emails in my IONOS email account. But the details they send me do not correspond what is in the azure portal when setting up a dns record.. can anyone help?

priority number: 10
TTL: 1hr

 

Host Name: @
value: mx01.ionos.co.uk 
priority number: 10
TTL: 1hr

 

SPF:

v=spf1 include:_spf-eu.ionos.com ~all

 

 

TXT

 

host:_dmarc
Value:

**
v=DMARC1;p=reject;pct=100;rua=mailto:postmaster@

You can follow these articles

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-getstarted-portal

From the Guideline document i tried to create the following environment

1. Create a DNS Zone in Azure Portal:
   • Create a resource > Networking > DNS zone.
     • Name: This should be your domain name.
     • Resource group: You can select an existing resource group or create a new one.

        ​
       

2. Create MX records in Azure Portal:
   • All resources > Open your domain DNS zone > select + Record set.
   • On the Add Record set page, type or select the following values for the first MX record:
     • Name: "@" (without quotes).
     • Type: Select MX.
     • Priority: 10.
     • TTL: 1.
     • TTL unit: Select Hours.
     • Mail server: mx00.ionos.co.uk.
   • Click on OK to create the record.
   • Repeat the process for the second MX record, but in the Mail server field enter: mx01.ionos.co.uk.
3. Create an SPF record in Azure Portal:
   • Repeat the steps to create a new record set, but this time:
     • Name: "@" (without quotes).
     • Type: Select TXT.
     • Value: "v=spf1 include:_spf-eu.ionos.com ~all" (without quotes).
4. Create a DMARC record in Azure Portal:
   • Repeat the steps to create a new record set, but this time:
     • Name: "_dmarc" (without quotes).
     • Type: Select TXT.
     • Value: "v=DMARC1; p=reject; pct=100; rua=mailto:[postmaster@togo.io]" (without quotes).
