How do I add email through zohomail right with no mx mistakes in dns settings?

  I’m adding two new mx records of zohomail.com to have my own emailadress like (email visible only to moderators and staff) in my “edit dns” area by following your instructions.
  These both records have priority 10 and 20 but before I did this I had two older mx records “…mailproxy.martinbendavid.com” settings – priority 5 and 10. You can see it below…:

  -MX martinbendavid.com E-Mail verarbeitet durchmailproxy.martinbendavid.com. mit Priorität 10
  -MX martinbendavid.com E-Mail verarbeitet durchmx.zohomail.com. mit Priorität 10
  -MX martinbendavid.com E-Mail verarbeitet durchmx2.zohomail.com. mit Priorität 20
  -MX martinbendavid.com E-Mail verarbeitet durchmailproxy2.martinbendavid.com. mit Priorität 5

  (the second and third are new)

  My questions are:
  1. Are these older ones my contact forms on my website? I don’t think so.
  2. Do I have to change one of the “priority 10” numbers into a new number (and if, which numbers are right) or do I have to delete the older mx records?
  3. Do I have to ignore that I have two priority 10 numbers and it’s not important?

  Thank you very much for your help!!

  Hi Martin,

  I just took a look at the MX records and they look good. Are you having issues with your email?

  Hi gracejiyoung,

  thanks for your reply!
  Yesterday I tried to send me emails to this new zoho adress to test it but unfortunately all the emails from arcor did not receive!!
  From gmail, gmx, freenet and web every email receives but not from arcor!
  When I did send the emails from arcor I didn’t get any message from arcor that there is a problem. Everything seems to be ok.
  So I was afraid that people think that the emails of them are reaching my new adress (email visible only to moderators and staff) but in fact they don’t and I never know.
  But now I found the solution – I just had to delete the first and the fourth mx (…mailproxy…) and have to work with the two new mx of zohomail.
  Since I changed the settings and deleted the older ones all the arcor emails are arriving.

  Thank you for your help!
  Martin
