  Could you try this?

  1. Go to Upgrades > Domains in your Dashboard.

  2. Click “Edit DNS” button on the right of your domain name.

  3. In the text box, paste the code below:
  (just XXXXXXX lines between dashes, don’t forget the periods at the end of each line):

  ——————————
  MX 0 smtp.secureserver.net.
  MX 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net.
  ******** MAKE SURE TO UPDATE THESE LINES ********
  ——————————

  4. Hit the save button.

  Please allow 4-8 hours for .COM and .NET domains and about 24-48 hours for all other domain extensions for these changes to complete.
