Bluehost MX Record Setup

cpanel logo MX Guarddog can automatically configure your MX records using our cPanel Sync service (Bluehost uses cPanel with a custom interface). Instructions below are for Bluehost customers who wish to make the changes manually.

Setup Complete

You should end up with three MX Records which direct email for your domain to our servers. We will process and forward clean mail to the server you specify on the Your Email Servers page.

Your MX records are now configured, your email will be protected by MX Guarddog. Changes to your MX records may take 24 hours before all computers on the Internet see the update, so your spam levels will slowly decrease during this time.

Once you have been up and running with MX Guarddog for more than 48 hours you may want to implement cPanel firewall to prevent direct delivery attacks at your domain.
