MX records settings
MX records determine the mail servers of destination for all delivered emails addressed to a specific domain.
To receive email addressed to the domains you actived on MoxiMail, you must set the MX records as indicated by us and remove the current ones, using the DNS management panel of your provider.
You can use MoxiMail services regardless of the provider that you registered your domain with and you will have access to the DNS management panel of your domain.
MX record with MoxiMail label
Remove current MX records and replace them with the following:
MX primary: mx01.emailpnl.com with priority 10
MX secondary : mx02.emailpnl.com with priority 20
| Name/Host/Alias | Record Type | Priority | Destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blank or @ | MX | 10 | mx01.emailpnl.com |
| Blank or @ | MX | 20 | mx02.emailpnl.com |
After making changes to the MX records of your domain, you can verify their correct application from the terminal or the shell by starting the "nslookup" command. This must contain a result similar to the following:
$ nslookup -q = mx example.com example.com mail exchanger = 10 mx01.emailpnl.com example.com mail exchanger = 20 mx02.emailpnl.com
Automatic check of MX records
The MoxiMail control panel periodically checks the correctness of the DNS settings and automatically reports, using a red icon, which domains have encountered problems with MX records. After correcting any problems, it is necessary to wait for the results of the automatic checks the next day.
A notification of problems in the DNS configuration of the domain does not automatically imply that the email service does not work. It is just an invitation to verify that the MX record settings are correct.
