Order BackupMX

In AutoDNSX3 BackupMX can be ordered as an optional service. During the ordering process, there is a switch to the AutoDNS platform interface.

→ Customer Center → Optional Services → Optional Services - Server → BackupMX→ order via AutoDNS Platform - log in to AutoDNS Platform with the same user data.

After the order, which is processed in AutoDNS Platform via the shopping cart, the BackupMX can be configured there or in AutoDNS X3.

In ADNS Plattform, the BackupMX entry for a domain can be made right at the time of ordering. See above.

In AutoDNS X3, the BackupMX entry for a domain is entered manually.

→ Zones & Redirects → BackupMX Management → click + for new entry

In AutoDNS platform, there is usually an AutoProvisioning. Only for external domains in BackupMX MX records must be set. This also applies to MailProxy.

For the BackupMX, if all three available backup servers are to be used, three hostnames must be set as MX records with higher priority. If only one BackupMX server is used (backupmx.domain-robot.org), it must be entered with MX 20.
The mail server of the domain has the priority value 10 for the MX record.

Example:

MX 10: mailsever.example240262.de.
MX 20: backupmx.domain-robot.org.
MX 30: backupmx-ffm.domain-robot.org.
MX 40: backupmx-muc.domain-robot.org.

If MailProxy is used for the domain in addition to BackupMX, MaiiProxy must be set as the MX record instead of the domain's mail server.

For further configuration of MailProxy see HelpCenter page.
