Email · Fix guide
No MX record found
- MX
- Mail Exchanger
The domain does not advertise a server for inbound email.
What is an MX record?
A Mail Exchanger record names the servers that accept email for a domain and gives each one a priority. Sending mail systems use these records to find the correct destination.
What to do next
- If the domain receives mail, obtain the MX values from your mail provider.
- Add every hostname and priority exactly as supplied.
- If it never receives mail, publish a null MX instead.
How to verify the fix
Send a test message and confirm the MX records resolve publicly.
When this result may be wrong
Domains that only host a website may intentionally have no email service.
