Configuring MX Records in WHM Print

  • WHM, MX Records, DNS, DNS Zone Manager
  • 425

MX Records determine where emails for a domain should be directed by specifying the mail server's IP address.

In WHM, you can manage the MX records for your domains through the DNS Zone Manager.

DNS Zone Manager - Manage DNS Records

Additionally, you can configure the email delivery method (or routing) in the Email Routing Configuration section.

Email Routing - Domain Name - Change

Configure Your MX Records

To set up your MX records:

STEP 1: If you haven’t added MX records for your domain yet, follow the steps outlined in the Add a DNS Zone Record section to include them in your WHM.

DNS Zone Manager - + Add Record

STEP 2: If MX records are already in place and need editing, update them in the Edit a DNS Zone Record section or within the Email Routing Configuration section.

DNS Zone Manager - Edit

After setting up the MX records, verify the DNS zone files to ensure the appropriate A records (IP addresses) are in place. Allow sufficient time for your MX records to propagate completely.
