What are MX Records?

What are MX Records?

MX Records are the DNS records of your domain which provide the details about the Mail Servers for the domain. To receive emails for your domain, the MX information needs to point to the Zoho Mail servers. The MX records for the domains hosted in Zoho are: 

Priority

Mail Server

10

mx.zoho.com

20

mx2.zoho.com

50

mx3.zoho.com


The MX records of the domain can be verified in the third party tool www.mxtoolbox.com by providing your domain name. Refer here for instructions on setting up MX records for your domain to point to Zoho.
