MX Record
A DNS record that names which servers receive mail for a domain.
In detail
MX (mail exchanger) records list hostnames that accept inbound mail for a domain, each with a priority number. Lower numbers are tried first. Senders look up MX records when delivering to you@yourdomain.com.
If MX points at the wrong place, you miss mail or black-hole it. If you only send mail and never receive, you still need sensible MX or explicit handling so bounces and replies have a home.
Change MX carefully and watch TTL. Reloop inbound features document the records you need when you receive through the platform.
