Email Routing
This interface allows you to route a domain's incoming mail to a specific server. Changes that you make to a domain's MX (Mail Exchanger) entry also result in changes to the DNS records. This interface is useful, for example, if you wish to create a backup mail exchanger to handle mail when the server is down.
Configure Email Routing
To determine how your server routes mail for a domain, perform the following steps:
1. Login your CPanel, find for "Email" tab and click "Email Routing"
2. Select the desired domain from the menu.
3. Select one of the following options under Email Routing:
- Automatically Detect Configuration — The server uses the current MX record or records for the domain to select the appropriate configuration from the list below.
- Local Mail Exchanger — The domain accepts mail even if an MX record with higher priority exists. The server routes mail to both domains when this happens.
- Backup Mail Exchanger — The domain acts as a backup mail exchanger and holds mail in the queue if the primary exchanger is offline.
- Remote Mail Exchanger — The domain does not accept mail. Instead, it sends it to the primary mail exchanger.
4. Click Change.
