5. Click the Change button.
6. In the Add New Record section, create an MX record for MailRoute:

PLEASE NOTE: After adding our mx records it has been reported that the Mail Exchanger either sets to Auto Detect or Remote. Please be sure to select LOCAL MAIL EXCHANGER and click CHANGE. You may have to do this more than once to ensure that the setting sticks. LOCAL M.E is the only setting that will allow mail to start flowing correctly.
