After your account is ready and you've whitelisted VIPRE's IP ranges on your mail server, you'll need to direct your inbound email to us for processing. VIPRE is set up to receive all emails for your domain, scan them, and then forward the clean messages to the mail server address you've listed in your dashboard's "Inbound Routing" section.
What Are MX Records?
MX (Mail Exchanger) records are like the postal address for your email. They tell the internet where to deliver your mail. By pointing them to VIPRE, you ensure all your incoming emails are scanned for threats before they reach you.
Step 1: Find Your VIPRE MX Records
Select your geographical region below.
North America
In order for us to filter your emails, you will need to change your MX records to point at our service. You should use the same MX records for all domains you add to our system.
United States
| MX Record | Priority |
|---|---|
| usa.mx1.mailanyone.net | 10 |
| usa.mx2.mx25.net | 20 |
| usa.mx3.mailanyone.net | 30 |
| usa.mx4.mx25.net | 40 |
Canada
| MX Record | Priority |
|---|---|
| ca.mx1.mailanyone.net | 10 |
| ca.mx2.mx25.net | 20 |
| ca.mx3.mailanyone.net | 30 |
| ca.mx4.mx25.net | 40 |
Europe
In order for us to filter your emails, you will need to change your MX records to point at our service. You should use the same MX records for all domains you add to our system.

Copy this record; you'll need it for the next step.
You can also find MX Records within the VIPRE Email Security Cloud web console, using the following steps:
- In the top right-hand corner, click the Getting Started button
- A window will appear with your unique VIPRE MX record; you can select your geographical region from the drop-down menu
Step 2: Update Your DNS Registrar
Now, you need to add the new record to your domain's DNS settings. Your DNS registrar is the company where you purchased your domain (e.g., GoDaddy, eNom, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.). The steps below won't be exact, as each registrar may look different, but they can be used as a general guide.
- Log in to your DNS registrar's control panel
- Navigate to the DNS Management section for your domain
- Add a new MX record using the information you copied above
- Set the priority based on the tables listed above
- Save your changes
Final Step: Verification
DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours to take full effect across the Internet. Once the changes have propagated, all your inbound email will be routed through and protected by the VIPRE Email Security Cloud.
Don't know who your DNS registrar is? You can easily find out by entering your domain name at a registration data lookup service like
