What Are MX Records?

MX (Mail Exchange) records are DNS entries that specify which mail servers are responsible for receiving email for your domain. They include a priority value that determines the order in which mail servers should be used.

  • Direct email flow to your mail servers
  • Establish priority order for email delivery
  • Enable redundancy for reliable email service

Did you know?

Without properly configured MX records, your domain cannot receive emails. According to studies, 15% of business domains have misconfigured MX records, leading to unreliable email delivery.

Why MX Records Matter

Reliable Email Delivery

Ensure emails reach your domain with properly configured MX records pointing to working mail servers

Redundancy and Failover

Multiple MX records with different priorities create backup mail servers for continuous email service

Email Security

Correctly configured MX records work with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to verify sender identity and prevent spoofing
