MX (mail exchanger) records tell the internet which servers receive email for your domain. This page lists the Google Workspace values. It was checked against Google's Workspace Admin Help on 3 October 2026: Set up MX records for Google Workspace and the older Google Workspace MX record values page. Always follow the values and steps shown in your own Google Admin console, because they are the ones that apply to your domain.
Current setup: a single MX record
Google's current recommendation is one MX record with the value smtp.google.com and priority 1. Google also states that any account can use this single record, including accounts created before 2023.
Note: Some domain hosts use different labels for the name and value fields, and some require a period at the end of the server name (for example smtp.google.com.). Follow your registrar's preferred format.
| Name/Host/Alias | Priority | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Blank or @ | 1 | smtp.google.com |
When you add the new record, Google's instructions say to remove other MX records that do not belong, because old or incorrect MX records can stop mail working correctly. DNS changes can take up to 72 hours to be recognised across the internet.
Older setup: five ASPMX records
Domains set up with Google Workspace before 2023 may have MX values that start with aspmx. This legacy set is not compulsory and is not required by sign-up date. Google states that if your email is working, no changes are required, and that the legacy MX values are still supported. The legacy set is shown below for anyone who needs to recognise or verify records already in their DNS.
If you already use these records and email works, do not change them just because a newer value exists; a rushed DNS change can interrupt mail delivery. If you do switch, plan it, note the existing records first and change them in one step.
| Name/Host/Alias | Priority | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Blank or @ | 1 | ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| Blank or @ | 5 | ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| Blank or @ | 5 | ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| Blank or @ | 10 | ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| Blank or @ | 10 | ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
Priorities: if you use the legacy set, ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM must have the highest priority, which means the lowest number if your host uses numeric priorities, as shown in the table. If your host allows only a single MX record, use the single smtp.google.com record described above, which Google recommends.
