Set Email Destination

Setting up your email destination is a crucial step in configuring your inbound email service. This process involves updating your MX (Mail Exchanger) record to direct incoming emails to the correct server.

​

What is an MX Record?

An MX record is a type of DNS record that specifies the mail server responsible for handling email for your domain. It tells other mail servers where to send email messages addressed to your domain.

​

2. Navigate to Inbound Settings

   • Go to the “Inbound” section.
   • Select your domain.
   • Look for the “Destination” or “MX Settings” option.

3. Locate your MX Record You will be provided with an MX record in the following format:

   Copy

   mx.yourdomain.com

4. Update DNS Settings
