  2. Navigate to the Email panel and select Email Routing.
  3. On this page select the mail routing option that is best suited for you. In most cases, our clients will be using either:
    1. Local Mail Exchanger: This option is used when your email accounts are hosted on the same server as your website as mail will be routed from you website locally.
    2. Remote Mail Exchanger: This option is used when your email accounts are hosted on a different server than your website (Example: Enhanced Email Product, Office365, Google).

      Once you have selected the option that is best suited for you click Change to save the selected settings.
