Create new mx records for g suite

To create new MX records for G Suite, you'll need to follow these steps:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a G Suite account (formerly Google Apps).
  2. You have access to the DNS settings for your domain (e.g., through your domain registrar or hosting provider).

Step 1: Gather necessary information

  1. Log in to your G Suite account and go to the Admin console.
  2. Click on "Apps" and then "G Suite" in the left-hand menu.
  3. Click on "Settings" and then "Domain" in the left-hand menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "MX records" section and click on "Get started".
  5. Note down the following information:
    • The MX record values (e.g., aspmx.l.google.com, alt1.aspmx.l.google.com, etc.)
    • The priority values (e.g., 10, 20, etc.)

Step 2: Update your DNS settings

  1. Log in to your domain registrar or hosting provider's control panel.
  2. Go to the DNS settings for your domain.
  3. Create new MX records with the following settings:
    • Name: @ (or leave blank for the root domain)
    • Type: MX
    • Value: The MX record values you noted down in Step 1 (e.g., aspmx.l.google.com)
    • Priority: The priority values you noted down in Step 1 (e.g., 10)
  4. Repeat this process for each MX record value you noted down in Step 1.

Example:

Let's say you have the following MX record values:

You would create three new MX records with the following settings:

Name Type Value Priority
@ MX aspmx.l.google.com 10
@ MX alt1.aspmx.l.google.com 20
@ MX alt2.aspmx.l.google.com 30

Step 3: Verify the changes

  1. Wait for the DNS changes to propagate (this may take up to 48 hours).
  2. Go back to the G Suite Admin console and click on "Apps" and then "G Suite" in the left-hand menu.
  3. Click on "Settings" and then "Domain" in the left-hand menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "MX records" section and click on "Verify".
  5. If the verification is successful, you should see a message indicating that the MX records have been updated successfully.

That's it! Your G Suite account should now be configured to use the new MX records.
