- If email is hosted with Web Hosting Hub, the MX record should have the following format:
- Type: MX
- Name: @
TIP: @ is equivalent to the full domain name. - Content/Value: domain.com
REPLACE: domain.com with the domain that is being configured. - Priority: 0
- TTL: Automatic/default
- If email is hosted with a third-party, please consult with the third-party email provider to obtain the MX records
- Add the MX record on Cloudflare's end
