An MX (mail exchanger) record identifies the mail server that receives email for a domain. To add one in cPanel:
- Log in to cPanel.
- In the Domains section, open Zone Editor.
- Find your domain and select MX Record from its available actions.
- Enter the record details:
- Priority: Enter a preference number. Lower numbers have higher priority. Use the value specified by your mail provider.
- Destination: Enter the mail server’s hostname, as specified by your mail provider.
- Select Add an MX Record.
A success message should appear if the record is added. DNS changes may take time to become visible across the internet.
