Step 6: Update your domain MX record to point to mail relay 
server 
Update the  MX record of  your domain  to  point to  the  IP  of the new 
mail  relay  server.  If  your  DNS  server  is  managed  by  your  ISP,  ask 
your ISP to update the MX record for you.

email server - hence by-pass GFI MailEssentials anti spam filters.

To verify whether MX record is updated: 
1. Click Start ► Run and type Command 
2. From the command prompt type in: nslookup

The MX record  should return the    IP addresses  of the  mail  relay 
servers.

respective email client.
