Explanation
An MX (Mail Exchanger) record is a DNS record type that specifies the mail server responsible for accepting email on behalf of a domain. When an email is sent to [email protected], the sending server queries DNS for example.com's MX records to find the correct destination. CNAME maps an alias to a canonical hostname, SRV specifies a service's location (host and port), and SOA (Start of Authority) contains administrative information about a DNS zone.
