Explanation
An MX (Mail Exchanger) record is a type of DNS (Domain Name System) resource record that specifies the mail server(s) responsible for accepting email on behalf of a domain. DNS is the system that stores and serves all domain-related records, including A records (IP addresses), CNAME records (aliases), and MX records (mail routing). VLAN is a network segmentation technology. DHCP dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices. SMTP is the protocol used to send email - it uses MX records but does not store them.
