Direção de pesquisa

Read docs/guide/email/domains.md alongside docs/reference/cli/platform-email.md and the MX checks in platform/packages/api/src/email/connection-service.ts. The issue asks maintainers to clarify whether refusal is intended or foreign MX coexistence should work, so first establish that decision before editing. Done means the guide clearly describes the intended behavior and does not imply unsupported registration.

Descrição

Summary

The platform section of the email domains guide says Void "preserves foreign MX records" (docs/guide/email/domains.md L19). Read on its own, that suggests registering an apex whose mail is hosted elsewhere (for example Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace) is supported and leaves that mail alone.

The code refuses that case. Registering a custom apex fails when the domain already has MX records:

platform/packages/api/src/email/connection-service.ts L1459-L1474: "already has MX records; use an unused domain apex or a platform shared email address". On a fresh assignment any MX counts, including Cloudflare's own. On an existing assignment, any non-Cloudflare MX counts.

Use case

I operate a self-hosted Void platform serving several brands whose apex domains use Microsoft 365 for mail. I read the sentence as "register the apex, keep your mailboxes, add Void". It took a failed registration to learn that was not the intent.

What the rest of the docs say

Other text already matches the code. The same paragraph tells readers to choose an apex without another mail provider, the own-account section says Void refuses to replace another provider's MX records (L47), and docs/reference/cli/platform-email.md L76 says to use the shared address or another zone when the MX belongs to another provider. So the sentence may mean "Void does not modify them because it refuses the domain". If so, it is easy to misread.

Question

Which behaviour is intended?

  1. Refusal is intended. I can send a docs PR that rewords the sentence, for example to say that registration is refused when the apex has MX records, and that existing catch-alls on a Void-managed apex are left in place.
  2. Coexistence is intended and the refusal is a bug. In that case I would like to understand the intended design before touching code.

There is also a middle path, outbound-only custom domains, where an apex with foreign MX can send through Void while Void manages no inbound. I intend to raise that separately. If you prefer to solve the mismatch there, I can word the docs change to point at it once it lands.
