Email suffix mx example
Here are some examples of email suffixes (also known as MX records) for a fictional domain "example.com":
MX Record 1:
- Priority: 10
- Mail Server: mail.example.com
- TTL: 3600 (1 hour)
MX Record 2:
- Priority: 20
- Mail Server: backup-mail.example.com
- TTL: 3600 (1 hour)
MX Record 3:
- Priority: 30
- Mail Server: mx2.example.com
- TTL: 3600 (1 hour)
In this example, the MX records are:
- MX Record 1: mail.example.com (priority 10) - This is the primary mail server for the domain.
- MX Record 2: backup-mail.example.com (priority 20) - This is a secondary mail server that will be used if the primary mail server is unavailable.
- MX Record 3: mx2.example.com (priority 30) - This is another secondary mail server that will be used if the primary and secondary mail servers are unavailable.
The priority value determines the order in which mail servers are tried when sending an email to the domain. The lower the priority value, the higher the preference. In this example, mail.example.com is the preferred mail server, followed by backup-mail.example.com, and then mx2.example.com.
The TTL (Time To Live) value determines how long the MX record is cached by DNS servers. In this example, the TTL is set to 3600 seconds (1 hour), which means that DNS servers will cache the MX record for 1 hour before refreshing it from the authoritative DNS server.
