π¬ How to Check Mail Server Records with a Free MX Lookup Tool (Fast & Accurate)
If you run a website or manage emails for your domain, MX records play a critical role. They define which mail servers are responsible for handling emails sent to your domain.
Whether you're troubleshooting email delivery, setting up a new email provider, or verifying someone else's domain, our free MX Lookup Tool helps you fetch the correct mail server records instantly.
π What is an MX Record?
MX (Mail Exchange) records are DNS records that direct email messages to the correct mail server. Each MX record:
- Points to a mail server (e.g., mail.yourdomain.com)
- Has a priority value (lower number = higher priority)
Correct MX records ensure your email:
- Gets delivered properly
- Avoids being marked as spam
- Doesnβt bounce or fail due to misconfigurations
βοΈ How Our MX Lookup Tool Works
