so do you just leave it blank?
Yes, that’s correct :)
Update 2: Ok I worked this out with help from the kind people in the chat! I realized i don’t need the name field to add the domain name to since the mx record is already attached to the domain… duh.
Update: Sorry i didn’t mention I’m using outlook.com to host email for the domain, the same way it’s possible to do with gmail. And also I’ll be hosting multiple domains on a droplet. <br>So how do i create an mx record that says: <br>email to mydomain1.com -> pass to outlook.com -> priority 10 <br>if there are only two fields: hostname and priority :s <br> <br>Thanks again!
