Custom email addresses connect to your Squarespace domain in two ways: through Google Workspace integration or by using an existing email service. When your domain is www.exampledomain.com, you can create addresses like [email protected].

Google Workspace Integration:

• Perfect for new custom email addresses
• Billing managed through Squarespace
• Provides access to Google's email, calendar, and document services
• Works with both Squarespace and external domains

Using Existing Email Addresses:

• Continue using your current email service
• Works with external domains without disruption
• Requires MX record modification for Squarespace domains
• Maintains existing email hosting setup

Important Notes:

• Squarespace doesn't host email services
• Email hosting is always external, even with Squarespace domains
• Your website, domain, and email are three separate services:
  • Website: Hosted by Squarespace
  • Domain: Hosted by Squarespace or external provider
  • Email: Always hosted by third-party providers

Preventing Spam Classification:

• Add DKIM records to your domain
• Implement SPF records
• Follow provider-specific authentication steps:
  • Google Workspace users: Use Google's DKIM and SPF documentation
  • Other providers: Contact your email service for guidance

These measures help ensure reliable email delivery and maintain professional communication through your custom domain address.
