Mandraled Hosting recommends using service-specific hostnames for email configuration but supports the generic mail.domain option for compatibility.
Recommended Configuration
- IMAP:
imap.yourdomain.com - SMTP:
smtp.yourdomain.com
The hosting provider operates each service from separate hostnames for scale and redundancy reasons. While they advocate for the specific hostnames above, they automatically configure mail.domain as an alternative for each hosting package.
