### What is an autoconfig/autodiscover record
autoconfig/autodiscover.company.com records allow mail clients to fetch automatically the mail
client configuration of a mailbox. If the mailbox to configure is user@company.com then
it will automatically check autodiscover.company.com for the correct configuration.
More information is available here: https://docs.iredmail.org/iredmail-easy.autoconfig.autodiscover.html
### How to setup the autoconfig/autodiscover record
If your ISP or domain name registrar is providing the DNS service, you can
request them to set one up for you. If you manage your own DNS servers then
you need to create the autoconfig/autodiscover records in your DNS zone yourself.
Sample autoconfig/autodiscover record:
```
NAME PRIORITY TYPE DATA
autodiscover.mydomain.com. 10 mx mail.mydomain.com.
autoconfig.mydomain.com. 10 mx mail.mydomain.com.
```
