An MX (Mail Exchanger) record is a DNS record. It identifies the server that will handle incoming emails for your domain. In a Bluehost name server, the default MX record is your domain name. This name has a local IP address which is connected to the server. This means all mail is processed locally. The MX record can be changed to point to a different email host like HostPapa.
