How can I apply your MX servers to my DNS settings?

The MX record in your domain's DNS settings is responsible for mail traffic. Here you specify the mail server through which incoming messages for your domain should be received. Using multiple MX records with different priorities is a backup mechanism to prevent messages from being lost if one server fails. If the primary server is unavailable, the system automatically accesses the secondary server and attempts to deliver the message at that point. Please make sure that your MX records always point to the correct destination so that you can receive email.

Which MX records do I have to enter to use EuropeanMX?

This can vary depending on the provider. Basically, the MX records of your domain must be replaced by the entries below. Backup servers must not be used for this.

10 mx1.europeanmx.eu.
20 mx2.europeanmx.eu.
30 mx3.europeanmx.eu.
40 mx4.europeanmx.eu.

The numbers 10 - 40 represent the respective priority.

These 4 entries should be the only ones of type "MX", others may have to be deleted. It is best to make a note of the original MX entries so you can restore them later. If you have problems saving the MX records, please contact your provider.

If you want to receive your messages only via servers within the EU, please contact our support.
