The record should have the highest priority (lowest record number) for our service to work properly. As a guide a typical MX record could look like the following: @ MX 100 mail.example.com When configuring your domain for SpamRepellent from Mail-Filters.com add this record: @ MX 1 SMTP-In.Mail-Filters.com If using Microsoft's DNS tool, add a MailExchange (MX) type record. Leave the Host or Domain text box empty. Place the "SMTP-In.Mail-Filters.com" in the Mail Server text box. Place the numeral 1 in the Mail Server priority text box and click the OK button. If you need to have a third party ISP make the change for you here is a sample of the request email that you can send.
