Log in to your Online Console / Customer Area.

Step 2

Click on Domain, then on Domain name configuration.

Step 3

Select Edit the DNS Zone.

Step 4

Click on Add MX record

100              mx*b.mailinblack.com.

Fill in the MX1 and MX2 fields with the codes that were sent to you at the end of your installation.

A DOT has to be added after the .com to close the record.
