By default, the mail service for all hosted domains is set to be our hosting local one.
IMPORTANT: Misconfigured MX entries can completely disable your ability to receive mail. If you are unsure which option to choose, please contact support.
To determine how your server routes mail for a domain, perform the following steps:
- Select the desired domain from the menu.
- Select one of the following options under Email Routing:
- Automatically Detect Configuration — The server uses the current MX record or records for the domain to select the appropriate configuration from the list below.
-
Local Mail Exchanger — The domain accepts mail even if an MX record with higher priority exists. The server routes mail to both domains when this happens.
Note:Choose this option if your server uses smart hosts or another gateway service to filter mail.
-
Backup Mail Exchanger — The domain acts as a backup mail exchanger and holds mail in the queue if the primary exchanger is offline.
Note: Configure the primary MX entry to point to the appropriate exchanger.
-
Remote Mail Exchanger — The domain does not accept mail. Instead, it sends it to the primary mail exchanger.
Note: Configure the primary MX entry to point to the appropriate exchanger.
- Click Change.
