MX recording
This guide explains how to add or modify an MX (Mail Exchange) record in the DNS zone of a domain managed on the Infomaniak Manager.
Type MX
This type of record allows you to specify which provider should manage the mail service (= the target).
You should only modify this type of record if you have a specific configuration to set up (e.g., domain name with Infomaniak and mail service with an external provider).
There can be multiple MX records (to have a second mail service take over in case the first one fails), and in this case, a number indicates the priority of each one (the smaller the number, the higher the priority).
MX for Infomaniak Mail
Infomaniak automatically sets the required MX to link your domain and mail service if they are managed within the same organization in the Manager.
If your configuration requires you to add an MX record yourself to direct mail traffic to Infomaniak, specify the following MX:
mta-gw.infomaniak.ch
with priority 5.
On the interface of some providers like Gandi, it is necessary to add a period at the end of the MX record:
mta-gw.infomaniak.ch.
A correct SPF record is also required for the proper functioning of Infomaniak Mail.
