Multiple Email provider CNAME records for a single domain




Okay, I will say it in short.
I have a domain name from bigrock.



To configure Domain Email, I used Zoho mail with admin@mydomain.com which offers 5 GB Data. I updated appropriate CNAME records.



Later, I came to know that With Domain, I get 5 emails to use for free.



Disadvantage: Only 100 MB/email allowed. So I created a forward only account with Sumit@mydomain.com that forwards to myid@gmail.com.




Now when I test my forward only account it says no such user here and points to mail.zoho.com CNAME( where only admin@mydomain.com exists)



So essentially, can I have two Email providers configured with my domain?
Thanks in advance.


Answer



The MX record decides which server to connect to , to send an email to an address with a domain name.



there can be multiple MX records with different priorities. but you cannot specify an MX record for certain email addresses.
