What are MXE Records?MXE records are MX “Easy” records. They allow you to configure mail delivery to a server based on IP address. An MX record requires a host name of the mail server, and the host name must also have an A record (usually, this is handled by the third party email service, if you are using one). An MXE record combines an MX record and an A record.
This entry in the control panel:
MXE 10.11.12.13
Will translate into these records in our DNS servers:
@ MX 10 mail.example.com
mail A 10.11.12.13
