How to Add MX Records?
MX is the hostname of a server responsible for handling email for the domain. MX records can be set up default in Bisend.com in WHMCS client.
If your domain has not been resolved in our side, please refer the tutorial of Domain Resolution.
Then you can click the ‘tool’ icon to check the DNS records including MX records.
Usually, if the domain is registered or resolved in our side, after you add the DNS record for this domain, the MX records will be added automatically.
If you use the mail server from third-party, in the page of Edit Domain DNS, you need to update the MX records according to the exact information from third-party.
