Manage MX records
This guide explains how to add or modify an MX record in the DNS zone (of a domain name) managed on the Infomaniak Manager.
Type MX
This type of record allows indicating which provider should manage the email service (= the target).
You should only modify this type of record if you have a specific configuration to set up (example: domain name at Infomaniak and email service at an external provider).
There can be multiple MX records (so that a second email service takes over in case of failure of the first one) and in this case, a number designates the priority of each of them (the lower the number, the higher the priority).
MX for Infomaniak Email
Infomaniak automatically provides the necessary MX to link your domain name and your email if they are managed in the same organization at the Manager level.
If your configuration requires you to add an MX record yourself to direct email traffic to Infomaniak, then specify the following MX:
mta-gw.infomaniak.ch
with priority 5.
In 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 proper functioning of Infomaniak email.
