  I have changed my email hosting account after mapping a domain. I have both the domain: coastalcurling.com and hosting through DreamHost. I am trying to set up email accounts in DreamHost, but am having difficulty getting it to function properly over the mapped domain.

  DreamHost’s support gave me 4 MX records and 3 A records to add, but the domain edit does not allow me to add the A records. How do I fix this? Delete and re-map the domain?

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

  Thanks for that. I have added the records as requested. It may take a day or two to fully propagate, so please let me know if it’s not working in a day or two.

  Thank you. Should this forum post be made non-searchable? I didn’t think before adding in the records.

  I appreciate your help.

  No the records aren’t specific to your domain or anything. It would be the same for anyone with Dreamhost Email.
