Mail Exchange or “MX” records are far more important than they sound. They allow all mail for a domain to be routed to one host. This is exceedingly useful — it abates the load on your internal hosts since they do not have to route incoming mail, and it allows your mail to be sent to any address in your domain even if that particular address does not have a computer associated with it.
