An MX (Mail Exchange) record is a [[dns|DNS]] record that specifies the mail server responsible for receiving email on behalf of a domain. MX records include a priority value that determines the order in which mail servers are tried.
Example
An MX record for example.com with priority 10 pointing to mail.example.com directs all incoming email to that mail server.
