advanced settings to edit your MX records.

Add the following MX records:
For example, if your system number is 7 and your domain name is
solarmora.com, you would enter:
solarmora.com.s7a1.psmtp.com.
solarmora.com.s7a2.psmtp.com.
solarmora.com.s7b1.psmtp.com.
solarmora.com.s7b2.psmtp.com.
See your activation email to make sure you are entering your correct
system number.

Tips for Changing Your MX Records for Any Domain Host
•
You may not be able to enter the priority value exactly as it appears in the
table below -- if you can't, make sure each record follows the indicated order
(instead of 1, 5, 10, you can use 10, 20, 30, etc.).
•
If you aren't able to assign priorities, you should enter only the following MX
record:
In other words, if your system number is 7 and your domain name is
solarmora.com, you would enter, solarmora.com.s7a1.psmtp.com. Be sure
to refer to your activation email for your correct MX records.
•
If you can't enter all four records, enter as many as you can.
•
If your domain registrar allows this, we recommend that you keep your current
MX records (examples shown in bold below) as a precaution for 48 to 72
hours, or until you have verified mail flow through the message security
service. However, be sure to assign the MX records shown in your activation
email with the higher priority values (lower numbers).
For example, the values of 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent higher priorities than the
values of 10 and 20.
