When you deploy Email Security via MX/Inline, you will have to change your MX records to point to Cloudflare. An MX record is a [DNS record](/dns/manage-dns-records/). If your DNS records are hosted by Cloudflare (or any other provider, except for Google), you can [edit your DNS records](/dns/manage-dns-records/how-to/create-dns-records/#edit-dns-records) via the dashboard or the API to point your MX records to Cloudflare.

By changing your MX records, Email Security will be positioned between your incoming emails and Microsoft 0365 or Gmail.

When you change your MX records, you will also have to set up the [Time to Live (TTL)](/dns/manage-dns-records/reference/ttl/). If you do not set up the TTL, the DNS propagation will take longer to happen. By reducing the TTL, you are decreasing the time it takes for DNS records to propagate.
