Changing MX-entries

You can use the Modify Mail Exchanger(MX Entry) function to change where a domain’s email is delivered to. This allows you to have the email from one domain delivered to another domain.

Just follow these simple steps :

1. To access the Mail Menu, click on the icon above the word Mail on the main screen of your cPanel interface.
2. Click on Modify Mail Exchanger (MX Entry).
3. The current MX entries will be listed on this screen. Click on Change an MX Entry to modify one of those entries.
4. Select the domain you wish to change the entry for from the drop box.
5. Enter the new destination domain in the blank field and click Change.

NOTE: If the entry was changed successfully, the following will appear (except the domains listed will be the ones you are using):

• MX Entry Saved
• The MX entry for domain.com has been changed to domain2.com
• The local mail configuration has been updated!

Important ::: You will need to make the MX entry point to a domain that you are in control of so you can get the mail once it is sent to that domain. Invalid domain names will not work.
