-An
MX stands for MailExchanger. The MX record in [DNS
] is used to identify what mail servers are associated with the apropriate entry
. Which could be a domain or single machine.
-When no MX record exists and an A record does, the A record is chosen to take mail.
-
-An important configuration point to bear in mind is that the data for an MX record is a host name, not an IP address. Thus:
- foo.com. IN MX 10 mail.foo.com.
-is valid, while:
- foo.com. IN MX 10 130.123.7.10
-is not. (Note: the 10 part of the MX record is the preference, mail servers send mail to the lowest preference server that responds)
