MX records: discord.com
MX records (Mail Exchange) specify which servers accept email for a domain. The priority value determines delivery order.
MX records define where mail is delivered, while SPF, DKIM and DMARC authenticate the sending source and protect against spoofing. Together they form the basis for reliable, secure email delivery.
Email routing for discord.com
This page covers inbound email routing for discord.com, a domain whose registrable label is discord under .com.
A sending mail server resolves the MX records of discord.com, picks the exchanger with the lowest priority value, resolves that hostname to an address and connects over SMTP.
Lower priority numbers are tried first and equal values share load. A domain without MX records cannot receive mail through standard SMTP routing.
Authentication policy for discord.com lives in TXT records: SPF at discord.com, DKIM keys under selector._domainkey.discord.com, and the DMARC policy at _dmarc.discord.com.
Investigation path: MX host → its A record → the IP address → the autonomous system announcing it.
