  4. In the DNS Manager-Advanced Tools panel, select Continue. The DNS Manager-Advanced Tools window displays.
  5. In the Mail Servers panel, select Add/Edit. The Mail Servers table displays.
  6. Select Delete to remove the existing records.

    • MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = smtp.secureserver.net.
