Mail7 MX setup (Generic steps)
If you can’t find instructions for your domain host, use these general steps.
- Sign in to your domain's account at your domain provider. If Need help? Contact your domain host’s Support team. Domain hosts are experts with MX records, and setup is a common task.
- Go to the section where you can update your domain’s MX records. It might be called something like "DNS Management," “Mail Settings,” or "Advanced Settings."
- Delete any existing MX records.
- Add new MX records for the Mail7.io servers.
| Name/Host/Alias | Time to Live (TTL*) | Record Type | Priority | Value/Answer/Destination |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| @ or leave blank | 3600 | MX | 5 | mx1.mail7.io |
| @ or leave blank | 3600 | MX | 10 | mx2.mail7.io |
Note: Some domain hosts use different labels for the name and value fields, and some hosts also require a trailing period at the end of the server name.
- Save your changes.
