# How to Setup Your SpamExperts MX Records

In this guide, we will show you how to set your MX records for SpamExperts, which will protect your email from being inundated by spam messages. We will also show you how to access the SpamPanel in cPanel and disable (or bypass) the spam filter if you do not want to use it.

**Note:** We have moved from SpamExperts to MailChannels for inbound spam filtering. For more information, see [How to Access the MailChannels Dashboard](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/email/mailchannels/access-mailchannels/).

## How to Disable SpamExperts in cPanel

If you do not want to use this service, you can disable the SpamExperts filter by [pointing your MX records](/support/edu/cpanel/modfying-mx-records/) elsewhere. For example, you can point them to example.com, or mail.example.com. This will allow you to continue hosting your mail on our server, but bypass the SpamExperts filter. Be sure to set your *Email Routing* to **Local**.
