How do I modify an MX Record?

MX Records (or mail exchange records) are special server settings that help to control the routing of your email.

By default, your email is currently routed through our server. If you wish to route your mail to a different provider, outside your hosting account, you may do so by choosing "Modify Mail Exchanger" from your Mail Manager menu, and moving to the "Change an MX Entry" section of your account. Here, you'll be prompted to enter the domain to which you'd like to give control of your email.

NOTE: Once you've directed your mail to a server outside of our control, you will not be able to control your mail from this hosting account. This means if you have multiple email addresses, forwarders, auto responders, and mailing lists, they will no longer be configurable through your Control Panel.
