Connect your email using SMTP with Resend

Resend requires an MX record to be added to your DNS. You will need to read their guide to ensure it won't interfere with your other email providers. If you are concerned about this, please use the SendGrid or Postmark SMTP methods which do not require MX records. Read their guide - Will Resend's MX record cause conflict with my email settings?
