  Hi. I recently migrated http://www.rezaalireactivated.com from blogger to wordpress. The migration was successful and the site is working perfectly on wordpress. However when I try to access mail.rezaalireactivated.com it goes straight to rezaalireactivated.com. The only way I can access my email is now through gmail.

  I have gone through all the support pages which talks about mapping custom DNS and I get how to do it. I tried to apply the instructions on http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/custom-dns/ but what I don’t get is what do I actually key into the box on the Custom DNS record.

  Appreciate any help on this one…

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. My best guess is that you entered your Custom DNS record incorrectly. Make sure it follows the correct format. Example:
  CNAME mail ghs.google.com.
  (The correct way is simply “mail”, not “mail.rezaalireactivated.com”)

  Hi Airodyssey. I didn’t enter any custom record. I don’t know what to enter in the custom record.

  If you are using Gmail / Google Apps, try adding the code I entered above.

  Hi,

  I managed to get it working. I went to Google app and entered google site verification TXT and then entered the following into the domain setting box in wordpress:

  MX 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
  MX 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
  MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
  MX 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
  MX 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.

  Everything working ok.

  Thanks for the help airodyssey
