Google Workspace MX record values

Est. Reading: 1 minute
Updated: April 4, 2024

If you Signup Before 2023

Google Workspace relies on 5 MX records for dependable email delivery. To activate Gmail, the Google Workspace setup tool necessitates the addition of all 5 records. If your domain registrar cannot accommodate 5 MX records, input as many as possible.

Note: Some domain hosts may employ varying labels for name and value fields, and some may also mandate a period at the end of the server name.

Name/Host/AliasPriorityValue
Blank or @1ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @5ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @5ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @10ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @10ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

Priorities Essential: Irrespective of your domain host's priority indication system, ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM must hold the highest priority.

If your domain host utilizes numerical priorities, assign the lowest number (or highest priority) to ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM, as demonstrated in the table. If your host employs alternative priority assignment methods, adhere to that system to designate ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM as the primary server.

If your host permits only a single MX record or disallows ranking, input ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM as the sole MX record.

Subscribers of Google Workspace after April 2023 need to add just one MX record.

Note: Some domain hosts may use different labels for name and value fields, and some may also require a period at the end of the server name.

Name/Host/AliasPriorityValue
Blank or @1SMTP.GOOGLE.COM
