How to Use MX Lookup
Enter a domain to inspect the mail exchange records that identify servers responsible for receiving its email.
Practical Example
A domain may publish several MX hosts with priorities so sending mail systems know which server to try first.
Factors That Affect the Result
DNS caching, propagation, record priorities and recent email-provider changes can affect the displayed records.
