How does email know where to go? ๐ค
MX (Mail Exchange) records tell the internet which servers handle email for a domain. They even have priorities - if the main server
is down, email goes to the backup!
Example:
company.com MX 10 โ mail1.company.com (primary)
company.com MX 20 โ mail2.company.com (backup)
Lower priority number = tried first! โ
