How to modify your MX records for Google Apps Mail

Once you sign up your domain for Google Apps, you will have to change the MX records for your domain in order to use it in Gmail.

If you are using cPanel, this can be easily done by using the MX Entry option. There find the domain you will be pointing to Google Apps Mail and delete all of its MX records.

Then add the following MX records with the corresponding priority for your domain:

Mail Server
ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. (Priority 1)
ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. (Priority 5)
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. (Priority 5)
ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. (Priority 10)
ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. (Priority 10)

When using the SiteGround MX Entry tool in cPanel, all you need to do is click the Set Google MX button and the needed records will be automatically set for your domain name.

The above instructions are in full compliance with the official Google Apps instructions and have been adapted to work with cPanel. They will require 24 hours to propagate and take effect. After that your mail will be handled exclusively by Google Apps Mail.

If your host does not use cPanel, you will have to find another way to change the MX records to Gmail. Still, the changes will be very similar to the above and the DNS records will be the same.
