MX record and domain setup for a SkyConnect and Google Workspace co-existence setup

Overview

The coexistence setup between SkyConnect and Google Workspace is enabled via deploying a subdomain on the SkyConnect platform. Using this subdomain, the Google Workspace setup forwards meant for the users on SkyConnect to the SkyConnect platform.

In addition, SkyConnect platform is configured to allow mails from users hosted on SkyConnect to external domains to be directly delivered.

Configurations

To enable smooth mailflow, the DNS of the domain has to be updated as follows:
