MX Record Lookup

Look up the mail exchange (MX) records for any domain. See which servers handle email and identify the email provider.

What Are MX Records?

MX (Mail Exchange) records are DNS records that specify which servers handle email for a domain. When someone sends an email to user@example.com, their mail server looks up the MX records for example.com to find where to deliver it.

MX Record Priority

Each MX record has a priority number (lower = higher priority). Mail servers try the highest-priority (lowest number) server first and fall back to others if it's unavailable.
