  My mail account is not connected to the host domain of my wordpress website. I tried registering the DNS strings in many ways, as your support page says in registering a mail account, but is not working still.
  My mail account is Justhost.com and I have all the information that supposedly is correct, as MX, TXT and CNAME but still is not working. This is what Im registering:

  CNAME autodiscover mail.mexcham.org.
  MX 0 mail.mexcham.org.
  TXT v=spf1 a mx ptr include:justhost.com ?all

  As A entry i have many choices:
  Host Record Points to
  @ 173.254.28.144

  localhost 127.0.0.1
  ftp 173.254.28.144

  cpanel 173.254.28.144

  whm 173.254.28.144

  webmail 173.254.28.144

  webdisk 173.254.28.144

  mail 173.254.28.144

  Maybe is this string A that I’m missing and impedes my mail account to work? Or do you have any record experience with registering justhost.com mail accounts?

  Please help me because Im trying since days and is not working in any way I tried. Thank you very much

  Hi there,

  Your most recent entry, which looks like this:

  A mail 173.254.28.144

  MX 0 mail.mexcham.org.

  Should be sufficient to make your mail account work. An external lookup has shown MX records propagated world-wide, so assuming those were the correct records for your server, your email should now be fully functional!
