  I recently mapped my wordpress blog to my personal URL from register.com and this works fine. I want to keep my email off register.com and they provided the following direction on mapping:

  ——————-

  In CNAME (Alias):
  mail.mattmckendry.com points to webmail.register.com

  In MX:
  mattmckendry.com points to mxmail.register.com
  Priority: High

  —————

  so after following the instructions and much looking around the various forums i entered the following in the Custom DNS

  CNAME mail webmail.register.com.
  MX 10 mxmail.register.com.

  which has been accepted, but my email is not working. Any advice?

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