Explanation
An MX (Mail Exchange) DNS record specifies the mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain. When someone sends an email to [email protected], the sending server performs a DNS lookup for the MX record of example.com to find where to deliver the message. Print servers, web servers, and file servers use other DNS record types (such as A or CNAME records) and have no association with MX records. MX records exclusively pertain to email routing.
