What setting do I have to change in cPanel if my MX records point elsewhere?

By Gbz • October 3, 2023

If your MX records point elsewhere, ensure that in cPanel, under ‘Email Routing’, you select ‘Remote Mail Exchanger’. This tells cPanel that your email is managed externally.

Good to Know: Setting the wrong mail exchanger option can lead to email delivery problems. Always verify your settings after changes.
