susanin.news removed all five of its Google MX records on 21 July 2026, leaving its MX field empty, the DRM3 DomainDrift instrument recorded.[^1]

The prior configuration carried entries across four priority levels: a primary record at priority 1 (aspmx.l.google.com), two at priority 5 (alt1 and alt2.aspmx.l.google.com), and two at priority 10 (alt3 and alt4.aspmx.l.google.com). All five were removed in a single recorded move.

The read here is that an empty MX field after a full removal is worth watching: it suggests the domain's mail routing is in an indeterminate state, though whether that reflects a deliberate migration, a misconfiguration, or a suspension of service is not established by the available instrument data.

What would settle it is a follow-on DomainDrift reading showing either new MX entries or a continued null state.
