How to Set MX Records for Email Exchange
For you to receive emails with Email Exchange, your MX record has to be configured and pointed to the right path. In this article, you’ll know all about MX Records and where to manage them.
What is my MX Record?
MX Record is responsible for routing emails between mail servers, ensuring that they get from point A to point B. In other words, it routes messages sent from and to the email addresses that you create with your domain name, e.g. [email protected]. To start sending and receiving emails with our hosted Email Exchange, configure your MX Record to the following:
| Type | Records | Priority |
| MX | smtp.ds.network smtp-uk.ds.network |
5 10 |
