Managing MX Records for a .TEL Domain Name

A .TEL domain name allows you to send and receive emails like other domain name extensions. However, since Web Hosting of a .TEL domain name is quite different from hosting of other domain name extensions, DNS Records for a .TEL domain name cannot be managed in the usual manner.

Scubez.Net allows you to configure the necessary MX Record(s) for your .TEL domain name from the Domain Management interface itself, within your Control Panel. Listed below are processes to add, modify or delete MX Records for a .TEL domain name:

 

Adding an MX Record

  1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name and proceed to the Order Details view. Click here to know how >>
     
  2. Click the Manage MX Records link. This will bring up the Manage MX Records view.
     
  3. Provide the following details and click the Add button:
     
    • Host Name: Enter a Fully Qualified Domain Name like mail.isp.com. Note that a Fully Qualified Domain Name always ends with a "." in the end.
       
    • Priority: An MX Record has a Preference number indicating the order in which the email server should be used (only relevant when multiple MX Records are defined for the same domain name). Email servers will attempt to deliver email to the server with the lowest preference number first, and if unsuccessful, continue with the next lowest and so on.
       
    • TTL: This is the Time To Live for this Record. Any Server which once queries this Record will query it again after this time interval.

 

Modifying an MX Record

  1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name and proceed to the Order Details view. Click here to know how >>
     
  2. Click the Manage MX Records link. This will bring up the Manage MX Records view.
