DirectAdmin: Set up G Suite MX records




  1. Login to DirectAdmin.
  2. Make sure you are on the User Level.
  3. Select the domain you want to edit the MX records for. (If you only have one domain on your account, you don't need to do this step.)
  4. Click MX Records under the E-Mail Menu section.
  5. Select the checkbox next to any MX records that are there, and then click Delete Selected. Delete all existing MX records in this manner.

    MX Server Address Priority
    Note: The values are the G Suite mail servers, and we include five servers in case one fails or requires maintenance.
  7. Enter the first MX record on the table into the open text field. Add a period (.) at the end of the hostname.
  8. Select the priority level from the drop-down box. If you can't match the priorities listed in the table above, select the lowest number for the first record, the next lowest for the second and third record, and the highest for the last two records.
  9. Click Add.
  10. Repeat steps 6-9 until all five MX records have been added.
