How do i know what my mail server is

There are a few ways to find out what your mail server is:

1. Check your email client: If you're using a desktop email client like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Apple Mail, you can check the settings or preferences to see if your mail server is listed. The settings are usually found in the "Accounts" or "Mail" section.
2. Check your email provider's website: If you're using a web-based email service like Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook.com, you can check their website for your mail server settings. You can usually find this information in the "Settings" or "Account" section.
3. Use the dig command: If you're using a Linux or macOS system, you can use the dig command to look up your mail server. Open a terminal and type:

   dig +short mx <yourdomain.com>

   Replace <yourdomain.com> with your actual domain name. This will show you the mail server records for your domain.

4. Use a DNS lookup tool: You can use a DNS lookup tool like WhatIsMyDNS.net or DNSChecker.org to look up your mail server. Enter your domain name and select the "MX" record type to see the mail server records.
5. Check your hosting provider's control panel: If you're hosting your website with a provider like GoDaddy, Bluehost, or HostGator, you can check their control panel to see your mail server settings.

Some common mail server formats include:

• mail.example.com
• smtp.example.com
• mx1.example.com
• mx2.example.com

Keep in mind that your mail server may be different from your domain name, and you may have multiple mail servers for redundancy or load balancing.
