3.1.3.3. Installing third-party MX records

If the domain is served on third-party NS, changes must be made in the control panel of their owner.

MX records specify the servers that should accept incoming mail sent to domain mailboxes. For mail to be accepted by the servers of a particular mail service, the MX records of this service must be set for the domain. In addition to making changes to the domain settings, on the side of the service itself, the necessary actions must be performed (added a domain, created mailboxes, etc.).

Attention!

When installing MX records, the previously installed MX and SPF records will be permanently deleted.

  2. Clickon "Configure domain" and install preset domain settings for mail of the required service (this will change the current MX records of the domain to the MX records of the selected service and a corresponding SPF record will be added for it).
  3. Wait for the update DNS cache... This usually takes several hours (maximum 24).
  4. Check the work of the incoming mail.
