Mail Routing

This screen allows you to view and configure mail forwarding (MX records) for your Domain.
MX records specify where mail for a domain name should be delivered. There may be multiple MX records for a particular name. The priority value specifies the order a mailer should try multiple MX records when delivering mail. Zero is the highest preference. Multiple records for the same name may have the same preference.
Following functions are accessible from this screen:

- To change the settings related to particular host name, click on it.
- To add new MX record, press the "New MX Record" button

Field Purpose

Field Name | Description
Destination | Destination domain
Priority | The priority for the MX record. As there can be multiple MX records for a domain, there has to be a way to control which mailhost is the destination mailhost, and in what order the other mailhosts are used if the destination mailhost is unreachable. A lower preference number means higher priority.
Mail Exchanger | The name of the mail server which will either process or forward mail for the domain. You should only use canonical host names (not alias names) in this field.
