MX Record and DNS Setup

Every domain name has unique settings that allow you to register it at one company while hosting email and websites at another.

For Hosted Exchange, you will have to "point" the MX records portion of these DNS settings to our email servers. In addition, you need to setup an autodiscover record so that users can easily configure Outlook using only their email address and password.

Contact your domain registrar and request the following change to your MX and autodiscover records. Or, if you have access to your registrar’s control panel for your domain, you can make these changes yourself.

MX Records

First Mail Server:	mx1.emailsrvr.com (preference 10)
Second Mail Server:	mx2.emailsrvr.com (preference 20)
Hostname*:	@
Record Type:	MX

*No Hostname, but @ is a common notation to describe the domain itself.

Since it typically takes up 24-48 hours for the MX and autodiscover record changes to take complete effect, you may want to make this switch during non-business hours or when email activity is light.

Autodiscover Record  (Exchange Only)

Hostname*:	autodiscover
Record Type:	CNAME
Address:	autodiscover.emailsrvr.com
TTL:	86400 (if Required)
