DNS Incorrect? Email stopped working when moved domain
-
About a month ago, I moved my domain name from a StartLogic site to WordPress. I thought I had updated the DNS correctly, but apparently I did not.
This is what I currently have in the custom DNS box:
MX 30 mx.goldenmonkeyentertainment.com.I contacted StartLogic and they told me to input this information into my DNS:
Priority Host Points To:
30 @ mx.goldenmonkeyentertainment.com
30 * mx.goldenmonkeyentertainment.comI am not sure how to put this into the custom DNS box. What format should I put this in to make my email work again?
Thank you for any help in advance.

Have you tried the instructions here?

Hi there, I don’t see any information in your custom DNS area at the moment – did you remove it? The custom DNS
The correct format for MX records is:
MX 10 MAIL1.EXAMPLE.COM.
So this may be correct:
MX 30 mx.goldenmonkeyentertainment.com.
In addition to an MX record most email hosts require a second DNS record, often an A record, which points to an IP address. Would you be able to ask your host if there are any other records required beyond the MX record, such as an A record?
