Mail Exchange Server

Manage Email Routing

You can choose your local server or a remote server as your email server. The local server is the same Eenos server in which you are hosting the website. A remote server is a remote mail exchange server.

Location:

 Email -> Mail Exchange Server

If you choose to enable a remote mail exchange server, make sure to edit the MX records of the domain DNS settings and point to that remote server. Otherwise, the emails may fail.

Mail Exchange Server

 The server that runs the SMTP / Email service for the desired domain. There are two types of mail exchange servers,

  1. Local, the same server itself
  2. Remote, a third-party mail server like Google, Microsoft, etc.
Switch to Local

This is to switch the domains' remote mail server settings to a local email server. So that this domain may use the current server as an email server. 

Switch to Remote

To use an external third-party email server as an SMTP server. 

If you use a Remote mail server, you can't manage any email accounts,  forwarders, email pipes, or distribution list for that domain from this server, because this server is not hosting any such email address.
