How to read MX records
An MX lookup shows where email for this domain should be delivered.
- Hostname
- The receiving mail server that handles messages for the domain.
- Priority
- The delivery preference. Lower numbers are tried first.
- Redundancy
- Multiple records provide alternate destinations when a preferred server is unavailable.
