Google MXrecord

Currently we are using our own MXRecords (mail.xyz.com), if we add a Google MXRecord list without removing the current MX records, then that will help us in any way... when sending the mails? Or necessary to signup for the google apps and use that email address to make Google MXrecords effective?

Hello, Why would you add Google's MX record if you do not intend to use their email service? MX record will not help you sending mails, it tells the world about your incoming mail server. It seems you are looking for SPF records? Yes, if you want to use Google Apps email service, you must set the MX records to the ones which they provide you with. That's a different thing.

Yup, it wont help until you use google Apps. Try to signup for Google Apps its free ( Now only free for 10users account) and leverage the power of google
