MX records (Mail Exchange records) are used to direct e-mails to a mail server. Just like CNAME records, MX records must always point to another domain.
An example of MX records would be as follows:
|
Type |
Name |
Priority + Value |
|
A |
example.com |
Points to Cloudbric’s IP address |
|
CNAME |
www |
Points to Cloudbric’s CNAME |
|
MX |
example.com |
0 0 0 mail.example.com |
|
A |
mail.example.com |
Points to mail server IP or Origin Web Server IP |
For the A record and CNAME method, please make sure your DNS records related to the mail server points to your original web server or your mail server in your domain provider's website. This setting is the same when using name server method.
