- In the Sub Domain field, enter @ and set the Priority to 10.
- And in the Assigned To Server field, enter mx.zoho.com - the MX record of Zoho Mail.
- Once done, click Update.
Similarly, add all the MX Records.
Sub Domain | Priority | Assigned To Server |
@ | 10 | mx.zoho.com |
@ | 20 | mx2.zoho.com |
@ | 50 | mx3.zoho.com |
Note:
MX records change from one DC to another. To make sure you have the right MX records for your domain, we recommend you get that information from Zoho Mail Admin Console.
You have now added the MX Records successfully. You may have to wait for at least 6 to 24 hours for the changes to take effect in the DNS Servers. Once the MX reflects in the DNS servers, go to the Admin Console and click Verify MX Records. But, you will start receiving emails at your Zoho Account as soon as the MX gets reflected.
You can also check if the correct MX details are reflected in Zoho's MX record checking tool.
