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.
