Hello everyone. I’m trying to understand why MX records are always linked with A records during setup. I’m confused about the order and purpose behind this process. Why is it necessary to create an A record first? What benefits does the networking standard provide for this arrangement? Why aren’t MX records meant to be paired with A records in the same way? What value does this approach bring overall? Thank you!
