How to Report Email Malware and Security Issues in Squarespace
Custom email addresses matching your domain name can be set up with your Squarespace website in two ways:
Option 1: Google Workspace Integration
- Perfect for users without an existing custom email
- Managed through Squarespace billing
- Includes access to Google's email, calendar, and document services
- Requires separate subscription
Option 2: Existing Email Service
- Suitable if you already have a custom email address
- Works with both Squarespace and third-party domains
- Maintains current email hosting setup
- Requires MX record configuration for Squarespace domains
Important Notes About Email Hosting:
- Squarespace does not host email services
- Email is always hosted externally (Google Workspace or another provider)
- Website hosting remains with Squarespace
- Domain can be hosted by Squarespace or third party
Ensuring Successful Email Delivery:
- Add DKIM records to your domain to prevent spam filtering
- Configure SPF records as recommended by your email provider
- For Google Workspace users, follow Google's DKIM and SPF documentation
- Avoid using spam filters for email campaigns
Service Structure:
- Website: Hosted by Squarespace
- Domain: Squarespace or third-party hosting
- Email: External hosting only (Google Workspace or other provider)
The custom email feature works seamlessly with both Squarespace-purchased domains and third-party domains, providing professional email addresses that match your website's domain name.
