How do I redirect mail.mydomain.com to my google apps email?

  I have registered a custom domain and after almost a full day it has completely propagated and finally up from my end. I have also added immediately after registering the domain, the requisite CNAME entry in the custom DNS records page in the form of:

  CNAME mail.mydomain.com ghs.google.com.

  But every time I type mail.mydomain.com on the browser I get redirected to the main domain (mydomain.com). I would expect the subdomain to have propagated earlier than the main domain. Is the format I’m using incorrect? Or should I wait a few more hours/days for it to take effect?

  Thank you!

  The email is already working on its own. The only problem is the redirection from the subdomain mail.mydomain.com to the google apps email page.

  Try this:

  CNAME mail ghs.google.com.
