Change Mail (MX DNS) Record for Your Domain

To receive e-mails at your EasyStreet Hosted Exchange mailbox you need to: First, setup forwarding while your DNS changes take affect (24-48 hours) so that no e-mails get lost.  Second, change your mail (MX) record to the EasyStreet Hosted Exchange mail servers so that e-mails are delivered immediately to your new mailbox.

• Forwarding: most ISP's have a control panel where you can setup a forwarding address; otherwise you will have to contact your administrator or your ISP directly.  Setup forwarding from your current e-mail account(s) to your exchange.easystreet.com e-mail address.  Your exchange.easystreet.com email address can be found in both your welcome setup e-mail and in your Control Panel.
• MX Record: Ask the company that controls your DNS (typically your website hosting company or your domain registrar) to change the MX record for your domain.  If they do not, you will need to use a service such as Domain-DNS.com or ZoneEdit.com to take control of your DNS and make the changes yourself.  Here are the Mail or MX servers for Hosted Exchange:
  • Primary / priority = 0; Server Name = Mx1.exchange.easystreet.com
  • Secondary / priority = 5; Server Name = Mx2.exchange.easystreet.com
  • NOTE: do *NOT* make the priority the same for both MX servers as this will cause loss of e-mail.  The Priority/preference number for mx1 must be lower than that of mx2.
