MX records and Host records are the primary DNS server attributes required for Exchange Server email to reach its intended destination. These tips and tutorials explain how DNS works and reveal the relationship dynamics between Exchange Server and DNS. Detailed DNS troubleshooting tips and techniques are also provided.
