What Should My MX Records Be For Mail Reflector?

Article Summary

  • Set the MX records to mail1.no-ip.com with priority 5 and mail2.no-ip.com with priority 10.
  • mail1.no-ip.com must have a lower number, meaning higher priority, than mail2.no-ip.com.
  • Set and test your primary mail destination in the 'Mail' tab by clicking 'Configure' on your Reflector service.
  • If No-IP manages your DNS, the MX records go on the root level domain entry on the 'Hosts/Redirects' tab, not on the 'mail.domain.com' host entry.
