MX Record

An MX (mail exchange) record is an entry in your DNS zone file which specifies a mail server to handle a domain's email. This means that when someone sends an email to you@yourdomain.com, the email will be delivered to the mail server specified in the MX record for yourdomain.com.

  • Example MX record for yourdomain.com:
  • MX record: mail.yourdomain.com
  • This would cause emails sent to you@yourdomain.com to be delivered to the mail server mail.yourdomain.com.
