How to Change Email Delivery to Another Server Using cPanel

 Introduction

Want to route your emails to another mail server (like Zoho or Google)? With cPanel, you can easily change mail delivery settings.

1. Set MX Records
Go to cPanel > Zone Editor > Manage your domain.
Remove default MX and add:

CopyEdit

mx.zoho.com. 10

2. Change Email Routing
In cPanel > Email > Email Routing:
Select Remote Mail Exchanger.

3. Add SPF, DKIM, and DMARC Records
Protect your domain from spoofing by adding proper TXT records.

4. Test with DNS Checker
Verify that MX records have propagated using DNS Checker.

5. Disable Default cPanel Mailbox
Avoid confusion by deleting local mailbox accounts if mail is routed externally.


Bonus Tips

  • Use external SMTP settings to send mail from CMS.

  • Always use SSL for secure connections.

  • Backup DNS before editing records.

Final Thoughts

Offloading email to dedicated services improves deliverability. For DNS flexibility and professional support, host with Host Anytime.
