  My website, http://www.1600watch.com is hosted at Word Press and the domain is registered at Go Daddy. I’m trying to get my email address, (email visible only to moderators and staff) to work.

  Go Daddy told me to revise my Word Press MX records as follows:

  MX Modifications:
  MX 0 smtp.secureserver.net
  MX 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net

  CNAME Modifications:
  1600watch.com mapped to pop.secureserver.net
  email.1600watch.com mapped to email.secure server.net

  I have not been able to revise my MX Records correctly. Is there a protocol for how exactly to type in the “mapping” instructions?

  TY timethief.
  I’ve been to add email and Word Press tells me it has corrrectly updated my MX records for a Go Daddy connection. It doesn’t work though.

  I have manually updated the MX Records, but have done so incorrectly.
