Explanation

MX (Mail Exchange) DNS records specify which mail servers are responsible for receiving email on behalf of a domain. Updating them to Google's mail servers (e.g., aspmx.l.google.com) is the definitive step that reroutes all inbound internet mail to Gmail. Without this change, mail continues to flow to the on-premises server. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records (D) authenticate outbound mail and protect against spoofing, but they do not control where inbound mail is delivered. Email forwarding from the old server (B) is a temporary workaround that adds latency and failure points. Content compliance rules (C) filter or route mail within the Google system after delivery-they do not redirect external mail.
