Configure MX Records for Email Delivery – ENOM
If your domain’s DNS Manager is hosted with ENOM, follow the below steps to add MX records for your Domain for email delivery.
To manage your MX record:
- Login to your ENOM Account.
- Under the Domains menu, click My Domains.
- From your domain list, click on the domain name you wish to manage.
- Click Email Settings or from the Manage Domain drop-down list, click Email Settings.
- Select ‘User (MX)’ option from the ‘Service Selection’ drop down to provide custom entries for your domain
- Complete the following fields:
-
- In the Host Name field, enter @ to denote the default domain for email delivery.
- In the Address field, enter mx.caribonix.com.cust.a.hostedemail.com.
- In Pref field, select 10
-
- Click ‘Save’ to confirm the changes.
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 ENOM 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
