How to manage inbound notification

This will allow you to receive web notifications for emails coming to mailboxes that you have registered under your domain.

If you send emails using your main email address (name@yourdomain.com), but you would like to receive emails on a different email address (e.g. name_1@yourdomain.com) you must first configure the redirection in the MX records for your domain, and then turn this setting on. The emails will be picked up by our platform, parsed, and sent as post data to your URL.

MX Records
Update your domain's MX Record "mx.yourdomain.com". Change it to "mx.inbound.elasticemail.com".
Emails sent to "anything@yourdomain.com" will get captured and parsed by our system and then sent as a web notification to your web server or application. Inbound emails are charged at the same rate as the account's pricing level.

Domain
Specify the domain for which you want to receive emails for yourdomain.com
