If you want your email messages to be delivered to Gmail instead of ScalaHosting, follow the steps below.
- Login to cPanel and click on MX Entry which is under the Email section.
- Remove all MX entries of the domain name you want to point to Gmail.
- After that add the Gmail MX entries as noted below.
| Priority | MX Entry |
| 1 | ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| 5 | ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| 5 | ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| 10 | ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM |
| 10 | ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM |
Once you do the changes allow 4-6 hours for DNS propogation. After that all your email messages will be sent to the Gmail servers.
Make a note that the Period at the end of each is not required or accepted.
That is right. I’ve fixed it. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. As a side note, when a DNS zone is edited the entry must have a period at the end else it will not work correctly. That’s where our confusion came from.
