Use eclipso mailserver with your own domain - Customize MX-Record

­Having your own mail domain @yourname.tld or @yourcompany.tld is practical and allows you to emphasize your individuality. For example, if you are already hosting a website with another provider, but would like to use email via your eclipso email inbox, you may have to change the settings in your hoster's domain menu.

So that you can send and receive your e-mails via our server, the MX record be changed for your mail domain at your web hosting provider. The corresponding settings are managed in the domain's DNS settings.

Important: eclipso Business tariff is required to use your own mail domain with your eclipso Account.

Make the following changes to the MX record in the domain settings of your web hosting provider. With the entries you determine which mail server is responsible for receiving e-mails for your domain.
 

Please make the following changes to the MX record:
