While there are several ways edit your domain's MX record to specify our mail servers, the preferred method is to edit an MX record to 'smtp.greatmail.com' and a CNAME mail to 'mail.greatmail.com' . For example:
1 ) Edit the MX record for yourdomain.com --> smtp.greatmail.com (Priority 10)
2) Add a CNAME record for "mail" --> mail.greatmail.com:
Domain Type Class TTL Answer
yourdomain.com. MX IN smtp.greatmail.com. [Preference = 10]
mail CNAME IN mail.greatmail.com.
By adding 'mail CNAME mail.greatmail.com', you have the option of using 'mail.yourdomain.com' as your incoming and outgoing mail servers in Microsoft Outlook instead of 'smtp.greatmail.com'.
