Changing an MX DNS record in the ISPConfig admin panel.

Introduction

• Mail Exchange (MX) records are DNS records necessary for delivering email to the email address. This record will contain the email server address where email messages should be directed;
• The ISPConfig control panel allows us to add/modify MX records through the DNS menu.

Requirements

• The administration details of the ISPConfig panel received in the email inbox associated with the Hostico account when the VPS was activated.

Steps

• First, we will connect to the ISPConfig control panel using one of the access addresses: https://SERVERNAME:10200 or https://SERVER_IP:10200 or https://DOMAIN.XX:10200

After logging in, on the next page we will click the DNS button;

To view the DNS area we are making changes to, click on the associated domain name;

• If we want to add an MX record, at the top of this page, we will have a series of buttons including MX. By pressing this button, we will be able to add a new record, and the fields that will need to be filled out afterwards will be the same as in the example below;
• Next, we will click on the MX registration type or the domain name;

The fields on the following page will be modified as follows:

• Hostname: We will leave the domain name for which we are making changes;
• Mailserver Hostname: We will enter the email server that we want the emails to be directed to. If we want the emails to be directed locally on the server, we will enter the server name or mail.domain.xx;
• Priority: We set the priority of the record if there are multiple MX records. If there is only one record, the value can be left as "10";
• TTL: It will be set to 3600;
• Active: It will remain checked, for the registration to be active.

• The propagation of these records may take a few hours. We recommend clearing your browser's cache and/or the operating system's DNS cache before checking;
• DNS propagation is the time interval required for DNS changes to be updated on the internet.
