MX (Mail Exchange) records are like postal addresses for emails. Their purpose is to tell email servers where to deliver emails for a domain, helping to ensure that emails reach the correct destination.
If you use Hostinger Email, the following MX records should be present in your domain's DNS zone:
Priority | Value (Mail server) | TTL |
5 | mx1.hostinger.com | default |
10 | mx2.hostinger.com | default |
Alternatively, to find the values for Hostinger Email MX records this way:
Navigate to the Emails section
Click on Manage next to the preferred email account
Go to the DNS settings section on the left
Scroll down to the Manage Email Delivery section, and click on the arrow button next to MX:
NOTE
After making any changes to your domain's DNS zone, DNS propagation starts; give it some time to complete, and your email service will be up and running smoothly 💡
