Useful Google test site for MX settings

I was asked to change a clients email from their domain over to Gmail and the instructions were not too clear.

During the process I found this site useful to view and check the MX records, after I changed them in the server cPanel:

https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/dig/

In the MX section you would just enter mydomain.com to view the MX records.

See Troubleshoot MX records - Google Workspace Admin Help for more info on this.

Another one I use a lot, and has some additional tools is https://mxtoolbox.com and if you are making any DNS changes, this tool helps check the status of the various DNS servers worldwide https://www.whatsmydns.net
