Create a Mail Server (MX) Record
To receive mail for “mydomain.com”, create a Mail Server (MX) Record. An
MX record is similar to a A record but points to a name rather than an IP address.
It is critical that the MX record point to a name which has a corresponding
A record with the proper IP address.
1. Select Mail Server (MX) Record from the Add... pull-down menu.
• Leave the Host Name field blank.
• In the Domain Name field, enter mydomain.com.
• In the Mail Server field, enter www.mydomain.com.
• In the Delivery Preference field, you can choose from the pull-down
menu Very Low, Low, High or Very High.
For our example, the Delivery Preference can be set to High.
2. Click Update List. The DNS Settings table is regenerated. See Figure 66.
You are now finished with creating your DNS records.
The completed DNS Settings table is regenerated as in Figure 66.
