If you wish to use Gmail through Google Workspace, follow these steps:
1: Log in to your control panel, then access cPanel and find the "Zone editor (DNS)" section.
2: Select the domain you want to manage and delete existing MX records.
3: Create the following MX records with the domain name as the name (ending with a period) and a TTL of 3600:
MX destination | Priority |
ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM | 1 |
ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM | 5 |
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM | 5 |
ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM | 10 |
ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM | 10 |
For nordicway, it would look like this (replace "nordicway.io" with your actual domain name):
nordicway.io. | 3600 | IN | MX | Priority: 1 | Destination: ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
nordicway.io. | 3600 | IN | MX | Priority: 5 | Destination: ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
nordicway.io. | 3600 | IN | MX | Priority: 5 | Destination: ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
nordicway.io. | 3600 | IN | MX | Priority: 10 | Destination: ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
nordicway.io. | 3600 | IN | MX | Priority: 10 | Destination: ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
4: Go to Google Workspace and confirm/verify your account.
5: Ensure that your user with the desired email address is created.
6: In cPanel, under "Mail Routing," make sure it is set to external for the given domain.
You should start receiving your emails in Gmail within approximately 1 hour.
