MX Entry
This feature allows you to change the domain to which mail is delivered, allowing one domain's mail to be sent to another computer. Please note that chaning the MX entry will result in the DNS record for your domain to be changed, so you must be using our nameservers for this feature to work.
Changing The MX Entry
- Select a domain from the pulldown menu.
- Set the priority for the new MX entry, with 0 being the highest. For example, when you set the priority to 0 and the initial delivery fails, a mail server with a priority of 1 will be the next attempt. This will continue until a successful delivery is made.
- Enter the alternate domain.
- Click the checkbox below the domain fields if you want mail to be delivered to both domains simultaneously.
- Click the Change button to save the changes.
If you select Always Accept from the Current MX Entries table, incoming mail from that domain will be delivered directly, skipping the network entirely. This reduces network bandwidth demands. Only a local domain residing on the same server can be added as an always accepted MX entry.
Removing An MX Entry
To delete an MX entry, click Delete next to the appropriate MX entry. You can confirm the deletion on the next page.
