Hello! This is the information I received from my email and web host site (hover.com), regarding the DNS records I require to properly set up my email.
CNAME Record: mail.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com
MX record: mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com
However when I try to update this information when I am adding an email address on the DNS records page, I keep getting errors.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much!
Ok. So I fiddled around with the syntax of the CNAME and MX record and finally got a message after clicking "Validate Without Saving" and then clicking "Save DNS Records" of "New DNS Records Saved". Which I think is quite encouraging. :)
Now how do I know if this has worked? Just keep sending test emails for the next 72 hours and seeing when the email works?
Thanks!
Ok. Now when I send a test email to [email redacted], I get an error message right away, telling me that the email address does not exist.
Help please!!! No idea what to try now.
