Yes, bmx.01.com is our backup mail exchange (
mx) server.
MX records should only be configured after you have successfully signed up for service, used the
domain admin control panel to add all of your mailboxes, aliases and distribution lists, and read through our Getting Started section in our online
help desk to verify you're prepared to start receiving email at 01.com.
Here are our MX record
DNS settings, where 10, 20, 30 are the priority of the servers (mx.01.com is checked first, mx-a.01.com second, bmx.01.com third):
10 mx.01.com
20 mx-a.01.com
30 bmx.01.com
Your own domain is typically listed to the left of the priority, and some DNS hosts require a trailing period, for instance, "mx.01.com.". We have step-by-step documentation for configuring your MX records for the the top DNS hosts in our online help desk, available to you after automated sign-up.
Note that while mail
stored on bmx.01.com is not viewable to clients, bmx.01.com will queue
and forward mail for our clients' domains in the event the destination
server is unreachable, such as during scheduled maintenance (clients,
please see our help desk News for our maintenance schedule). Also,
bmx.01.com will queue messages for up to 5 days in the event of a
disaster.
Please note that when you place your order, your chosen domain is
configured automatically on the 01.com servers. Mail will not be
directed to your domain on the 01.com servers until you change your MX
record in your DNS. The exception to this rule is for existing clients
using the 01.com servers, including 01.com team members: for these
users, the 01.com mail server will attempt delivery only to the domain
installed locally. For example, prior to switching your MX record, if
you're wondering why you haven't received responses from 01.com team
members, check your mailbox on the 01.com server, because our messages,
sent through the 01.com servers, will be delivered there.
