  Hi there,

  You can set up an MX record for MAIL.EATBEAUTIFUL.COM.AU and point it to the IP address 27.123.26.66 with these DNS records:

  MX 10 MAIL.EATBEAUTIFUL.COM.AU.
  A mail 27.123.26.66

  You can enter that in your custom DNS editor, by going to Store > Domains in your dashboard and clicking “Edit DNS” next to your domain name.

  We also have more information about setting up email here: Add Email through other providers

  Please let me know if I can provide any further help with this. :)
