Email Question
-
I’ve got my domain name mapped to my wordpress blog site but now my email won’t work. I’ve been told I need to contact wordpress and have them point the domain MX Records / Mail Servers to the following:
mx00.1and1.com
mx01.1and1.comIs this something I can do on my own?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress does not have mail servers. It doesn’t offer email associated with domains. But there IS a workaround:

@crossfitcapeann You can setup your custom MX records with the DNS editor:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/custom-dns/It looks like your records are not formatted quite right. They should be:
MX [priority] [hostname]
So your examples from above should be:
MX 10 00.1and1.com.
MX 20 01.1and1.com.Note: I assigned the priorities randomly, it doesn’t matter as much what they are as long as they are there. The determine which host to try first.
