| The above instructions (section 3.6) only apply if you are using Netfirms WebMail as your e-mail client. For Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird, or any other POP3 client, spam filtering functionality is built into the e-mail program. See the program's help documentation for additional information. |

| 3.8 How to Configure MX Records |
| |
| MX records are used for mail routing when you want a company other than Netfirms to manage the e-mail for your domain. You can set up MX records on the Domains menu tab. |
| |
Steps:
- Click the Domains menu tab to access the Domain Manager.
- Click the Admin button adjacent to the domain name for which you want to set up MX Records.
- Click the MX Record button.
- Enter the new MX record addresses.
- Click the Reset button to reset to default settings, if needed (this will restore the record back to defaults).
- Click the Modify button to accept settings.
|
| Notes: Changing the MX records means you will not be able to receive e-mail through Netfirms, including WebMail. It may take up to 48 hours for an MX record modification to become active across the entire Internet. |
