Question

How to change the MX or Mail Routing for a domain in WHM?

Answer

Mail routing is the configuration that tells your server if it should attempt to accept messages for a domain on the local server, or if it should attempt to direct messages for the domain to a remote server. 

1. Login to WHM as the root user
2. Navigate to Home / DNS Functions / Email Routing Configuration
3. Choose the applicable domain from the list, and use the Modify button.
4. On the new page, make the necessary configurations to the domain for its email routing.
   • Local Mail Exchanger - Configures the server to always accept mail for the domain, for when the email is hosted locally.
   • Remote Mail Exchanger - Configures the server to never accept mail for the domain, for when the email is hosted remotely.
   • Backup Mail Exchanger - Configures the server to accept mail for the domain and store it until a higher priority mail server becomes available.
5. Update the domain's MX records, if necessary.
6. Use the Save button when completed
