Vercel doesnt provide that, or atleast not anymore from my knowledge
You need to either use a third party service or use the DNS provider itself to setup a MX record and to handle the redirections for you
Which provider are you using? Godaddy, Cloudflare, IONOS?

Add preset dropdown on the DNS Records page once. I guess it's not a feature anymore.https://vercel.com/guides/how-to-manage-vercel-dns-records#adding-dns-records
