Setting up email delivery

Print
  Step 1: Overview     Step 2: Change MX Records     Step 3: Check Status  

 

Before changing your MX records, create your user accounts in Google Apps.
  • You can enable email delivery by modifying MX (Mail Exchange) records; you'll just need to point your MX records to Google.
  • Your MX records are managed by your domain host. You'll need to identify your host in this process, as instructions on how to modify MX records vary slightly.
  • If you purchased your domain name from one of Google’s registration partners, Google will configure your MX records for you.
  • Once you've set up your Google Mail services, you can add additional delivery features with Google Apps Premier Edition (Upgrade now):
    • Content management and email filtering through Google Message Security & Discovery (Postini). (Activation Guide)
    • Inbound and outbound delivery rules, pilot configuration, dual deployment, whitelisting, and archiving. (Advanced Delivery Options)
