- Change the priority of the existing MX record to a higher number (e.g., 20).
- Add a new MX record with the IP address or hostname of your LDAP server and set its priority to a lower number (e.g., 10).
1. Using Plesk:
- Login to Plesk and select the domain you want to configure the MX records for.
- Click on ‘Mail’ and then on ‘DNS Settings’.

1. Using Command Line:
- Open a command prompt or terminal window.

- Enter the following command to add a new MX record: nsupdate -d
server dns-server-ip-address
update add domain.com. 86400 MX priority mail-server
(replace ‘dns-server-ip-address’ with the IP address of your DNS server, ‘domain.com’ with the actual domain name, ‘86400’ with the TTL value, ‘priority’ with a lower number than the existing MX record, and ‘mail-server’ with the IP address or hostname of your LDAP server).
