How to Use the MX Records Checker
Follow these simple steps to check your domain's MX records:
Enter your domain
Type your domain name (e.g., example.com) into the input field. Do not include "http://" or "www."
Click Check MX Records
Click the "Check MX Records" button to query your domain's DNS. The tool will retrieve all MX records for your domain.
Review the results
The tool will show you all MX records with their mail servers and priority values. Lower priority numbers indicate higher priority mail servers.
Verify configuration
Ensure your MX records point to the correct mail servers. Multiple MX records with different priorities provide redundancy for email delivery.
Why MX Records Matter for Email Delivery
MX records are fundamental to email delivery. They tell sending mail servers where to deliver emails for your domain. Without properly configured MX records, your domain cannot receive emails, which affects both incoming and outgoing email functionality.
- Enable email delivery by routing emails to the correct mail servers
- Provide redundancy with multiple MX records for reliability
- Ensure proper routing so emails reach the intended mailboxes
- Troubleshoot delivery issues by verifying DNS configuration
- Maintain email functionality for both sending and receiving
