Add manual mail exchanger redirect record
This function lets you create a manual Exim mail exchanger (MX) redirect for a domain. An MX redirection lets you bypass the domain's MX lookup via the Domain Name System (DNS). This function adds the manual redirect entries to the /etc/manualmx file.
Note:
To remove a domain's manual MX redirection, use the WHM API 1 unset_manual_mx_redirect function.

Note:
To add multiple MX hosts, increment the parameter. For example, use the mx_host, mx_host-1, and mx_host-2 parameters. For multiple MX hosts, you must include its corresponding domain value.
