EMAIL GLOSSARY

What is a MX record?

An MX record stands for “mail exchange” record. It is a kind of DNS record that tells mail servers to accept your outgoing emails and directs incoming mail to your domain. Faulty MX records can mean that you won’t receive emails so they play an important role in your email operations.
