How do I set up my MX records so I can use my domain email if I'm using DNS?
Updated: 2025/08/20Viewed times: 35694
MX records are mail exchange records that specify the mail server responsible for accepting email messages for your domain. Before setting up, please contact your email provider in advance to obtain the MX records needed.
Then, to set up your MX records using our DNS, please follow the instructions below:
- Sign in to your Dynadot account.
- Check the box next to your domain name(s) and click on the "Action" button.
- Choose "DNS Settings" from the "Action" list.
- On the DNS Settings page, select "Dynadot DNS" from the drop-down menu.
- Under the "Domain Record" section, select "MX" from the "Record Type" drop-down.
- Enter your MX record in the "IP Address / Destination" box, and the record's priority in the "Priority" box.
- Press the "Save Settings" button to save your changes.
Note: If your domain is using a third party's name servers not Dynadot DNS, you will need to contact your hosting provider to add MX records for your domain.
