MX-IP-LITERAL

MX points at an IP address

What it means

MX targets must be hostnames. An IP literal is invalid and is ignored by compliant senders.

How to fix it

  1. 1Create an A record (mail.yourdomain) for the address and point the MX at that name.

Re-check after the change

DNS changes can take up to the record's TTL to be seen; use Re-run on the result page to bypass our 10-minute cache.
