Hello in re with my other post
I have been speaking to BT to try and find out where the MX Record for my e-mails are poiting and they say there pointing to there server ?

Should the MX Record be pointing to the static IP address for my Router ?

Thanks

Mike

Hi,

If you are hosting your own emails it should be pointing to your router.

If you are using BT to host and then you later download it to your server it should point to BT.
