In this blog post, we’ll delve into MX records, why they matter, and how to set them up for peak email performance.
Understanding MX Records
MX record, or Mail Exchange record, is a DNS (Domain Name System) record responsible for directing incoming email messages to the appropriate mail server for a specific domain. When someone sends an email to your domain, the recipient’s email server queries the DNS records for your domain to find the Mail Exchange record. The MX record then specifies which mail server is responsible for receiving emails for that domain.
