How do I edit my domain's MX record to host email for my domain at Greatmail? Can't Post

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'.
