CPanel manages your email through its own mail server. However, by altering
your MX (Mail Exchange Record) Entry you can point your email to another
mail server, if this is required.
Note: CPanel will not be able to manage your
email if you change your MX Entry setting.
To alter your MX Entry setting:
Click on the Modify Mail Exchanger (MX Entry) link in the
Mail Menu area.
Click on the Change a MX Entry link.
Enter the domain name of the new MX Entry in the available field.
Clink on the Change button.
Note: You can only change the entry to a domain name (e.g.
yourdomain.com), not an IP (Internet Protocol) address.
