Updated February 2, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. We’re making some changes to DNS provisioning of A records for all new Accepted Domains provisioned after July 1st, 2026 (previously February 1st). Between early and late July 2026 (previously February), we will gradually switch provisioning of all A records for new Accepted Domains into the new subdomains under mx.microsoft.We are doing this to reduce the friction of adopting DNSSEC in the long run. DNSSEC is a set of extensions to DNS that provides cryptographic verification of DNS records, preventing DNS spoofing and adversary-in-the-middle attacks to DNS. [How this will affect your organization:] After July 1, 2026 (previously February 1), all A records for new Accepted Domains will be provisioned into the new subdomains under mx.microsoft.
