DNS: The DNS system is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses. It also contains various types of records associated with domain names, including MX records.
MX Record: An MX record is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System that specifies a mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a recipient's domain and a preference value used to prioritize mail delivery if multiple mail servers are available.
