The mail exchanger (MX) resource record specifies a server that is configured to act as a mail server for a DNS name. The mail server identified by an MX record is a host that either process or forwards mail for a DNS domain name. Processing the mail means either delivering it to the addressee or passing it to a different type of mail transport. Forwarding the mail means sending it to its final destination server, sending it by using Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to another mail exchange server that is closer to the final destination, or queuing it for a specified amount of time.
