Altering your
Mail Exchanger (MX Entry) setting
CPanel manages
your e-mail through its own mail server. However, by altering your MX
(Mail Exchange Record) Entry you can point your e-mail to another mail
server, if this is required.
Note:
CPanel will not be able to manage your e-mail if you change
your MX Entry setting. Do not change your MX Entry unless you know what
you are doing.
To alter
your MX Entry setting:
-
Click on the
Modify Mail Exchanger (MX Entry) link in the Mail
area.
-
Click on the
Change an MX Entry link.
-
Enter the
domain name of the new MX Entry in the available field.
Note:
You can only change the entry to a domain name (e.g. yourdomain.com),
not an IP (Internet Protocol) address.
-
Click on the
Change button.
