Configure MX Records for Email Delivery – Register.com
If your domain’s DNS Manager is hosted with Register.com, follow the below steps to add MX records for your Domain for email delivery.
To manage your MX record:
- Login to your Register.com Account.
- Click Domains in the Account Dashboard.
- Under Domains, click Manage.
- Under Manage Product on the right, click Manage for the domain for which you want to change the MX records.
- Scroll down to the Advanced Technical Settings section and click Edit Mail Exchanger Records.
- Click Add more MX records
- Complete the following fields:
-
- In the Host field, enter @ to denote the default domain for email delivery.
- In the Mail Server field, enter mx.caribonix.com.cust.a.hostedemail.com.
- In Priority field, select High
-
- Click Continue to submit your new MX records.
- Click Continue once again to confirm your new records.
Note: The instructions provided above may vary slightly. The dot(.) at the end of the MX record is optional. This depends on your domain DNS provider. We recommend you to go through your DNS provider’s support documentation for the exact method to add the MX entries.
You have successfully added MX records for your Register.com hosted domain. You can check the MX records with the third party tool www.mxtoolbox.com.
Note: This update may take from a few minutes or up to 72 hours to take effect (depending on your domain name registrar). After some time, you can check the MX records with www.mxtoolbox.com
Important Points:
- Ensure that you have deleted all the MX records related to your previous email provider. Any other existing MX record will conflict with Caribonix Mail, affect email delivery and result in permanent loss of emails delivered.
- The MX Caribonix that should be returned when you check in www.mxtoolbox.com should be
- mx.caribonix.com.cust.a.hostedemail.com
