How to Add an MX Record in cPanel

An MX (mail exchanger) record identifies the mail server that receives email for a domain. To add one in cPanel:

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. In the Domains section, open Zone Editor.
   
3. Find your domain and select MX Record from its available actions.
   
4. 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.
   
   
5. 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.
