Gestion de l'échangeur de courrier (MX) Enregistrements dans cPanel

MX records define how email for a domain is routed. Par défaut, cPanel handles email delivery using the local mail server, but MX records can be adjusted to route mail to external providers when required.

Understanding MX records and risks

Changing MX records transfers email handling away from the local server. This should only be done when the destination mail servers are confirmed and reachable. Incorrect MX configuration can stop email delivery entirely.

These controls are available on standard Hébergement cPanel environments.

1. Connectez-vous à cPanel.
2. Ouvrez le Outils page.
3. Dans le E-mail section, cliquez Email Routing.
4. Select the domain.
5. Choose the appropriate routing option:
   • Automatically Detect Configuration for domains using the same name servers
   • Local Mail Exchanger to force local delivery
   • Backup Mail Exchanger to act as a secondary mail server
   • Remote Mail Exchanger when mail is handled by an external provider
6. Cliquez Change to apply.
