MX Entry Maintenance
MX Entry Maintenance
An MX (mail exchanger) entry tells a client which server receives mail sent to a domain name.
Assigning Priority to MX Entries :
Lower values denote higher priority, with 0 being the highest possible priority.
The primary mail server(s) (with the lowest-numbered priority) will receive mail sent to your domain.
Secondary mail servers (those with higher priority values) can be used for backup or other purposes.
If you assign multiple mail servers the same priority, then when that level of mail server is needed, mail will be distributed to those servers randomly.
