# Add manual mail exchanger redirect record

`GET /set_manual_mx_redirects`

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.

  To remove a domain's manual MX redirection, use the WHM API 1 unset_manual_mx_redirect function.
