Adding an MX record in the cPanel admin panel, redirecting the mail server to Google

Introduction

• In this tutorial we will explain the necessary steps to add an MX record and redirect emails to the Google mail server.
• An MX record is a type of resource record in the domain name system that specifies a mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of the recipient's domain and a preference value used to prioritize mail delivery, available.

•  A new page will open and here we will click on +MX Record.

• The completion of this operation will be done by clicking on Add an MX Record.

• In the example above, I used Google MX records, however, the procedure is the same, regardless of which provider we want to redirect emails to.

• As an additional example, in the event that you have purchased the Spam Experts services, the MX records that you will set in the DNS fields of Zone Editor will be the ones below:
