1. Log in to your DreamHost account:
– Go to the DreamHost website and click on the “Login” button at the top right corner.
– Enter your email address and password, then click “Login.”
2. Access the DNS settings:
– Once logged in, click on the “Domains” tab in the navigation menu.
– Select the domain for which you want to configure the MX records.
3. Edit the DNS records:
– Scroll down to the “DNS” section and click on the “Manage DNS” button.
– Look for the “Add a custom DNS record to” section and select “MX” from the dropdown menu.
4. Configure the MX records:
– In the “Name” field, enter the domain name provided by Zoho (e.g., mx.zoho.com).
– In the “Value” field, enter the MX record value provided by Zoho (e.g., mx.zoho.com).

– Zoho will check if the MX records are correctly configured and display a success message if everything is in order.
6. Wait for DNS propagation:
– DNS changes may take some time to propagate across the internet.
– It typically takes a few hours, but in some cases, it can take up to 48 hours for the changes to take effect.
