Add the following MX records at your DNS host, if you're using custom name servers and want to use Google Domains' email forwarding.
| Name/Host/Alias | Type | Time-to-live (TTL) | Priority | Value/Answer/Destination |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blank or @ | MX | 1H | 5 | gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com |
| Blank or @ | MX | 1H | 10 | alt1.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com |
| Blank or @ | MX | 1H | 20 | alt2.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com |
| Blank or @ | MX | 1H | 30 | alt3.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com |
| Blank or @ | MX | 1H | 40 | alt4.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com |
Tip: In Google Domains and some other DNS providers, you enter the priority in the same field as the destination, separated by a space. For example: 5 gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com.
After you add the MX records above at your DNS host, complete your email forwarding set up.
