Learn how to find the SMTP address

1. First open your Windows Command Prompt or CMD.

Note: To open CMD from the Start menu, type CMD and open it after searching.

You can also open the Run window (Winkey + R) to open CMD, type cmd and click OK.

2. Then enter the following command to enter the nslookup environment:

nslookup

Nslookup is a DNS search tool that lets you find records created in the DNS of any domain.

One of the DNS records is MX, which means Mail eXchange and indicates the address of the email service.

3. After entering the Nslookup environment, enter the following command to set the type of response received on MX:

set type=mx
