MX Record (Mail Exchange)
MX Record, or Mail Exchange is a record in DNS that identifies which mail server is responsible for a specific domain's e-mail. You can change your Main MX record to point somewhere else besides your server. You could also choose to have your MX record secondary'd (backed up) by your ISP or other provider so that in case your account is inaccessible for a period of time, your e-mail will be backed up somewhere and will start receiving those backed up messages as soon as your account is accessible again. For help with your MX Records, refer to the Domain Management section of our Members Area.
