Custom DNS for email failed
-
I set up the domain essencebychocolate.com and my email address ((email visible only to moderators and staff)) on Hostway when I thought I was going to launch a website. Instead, I set up a free blog on WordPress (thank you, WordPress!) and it is currently being hosted on WordPress. I added the 3 WordPress IP addresses (NS1.wordpress.com etc.) to Hostway and when I did that, I lost email functionality. I tried adding a new Custom DNS (MX 10 nicole@essenceby chocolate.com) to WordPress, but despite being “valid”, it didn’t work. What to do…?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi. It’s the first time I see an @ in an MX record at WP.com. I’m wondering if there should be one and that it makes a “valid” MX record… See here for examples

I forgot to mention that the WP validator translated the address with the @ that I entered to this: MX 10 nicole. Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out.
