πŸ“¬ 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.

πŸ” 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
  • Doesn’t bounce or fail due to misconfigurations

βš™οΈ How Our MX Lookup Tool Works

  • Enter any domain (e.g., example.com)
  • We instantly query the domain’s DNS MX records
  • You get:
    • The list of mail servers
    • Priority levels
    • Associated hostnames
