  I am trying to change my dns settings in order for my crazy domains email access works. I have been given instructions but they don’t seem to have worked.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  What instructions were you given?

  Typically that is done by adding MX records:

  Here were the instructions I was given:

  As per discussed over the phone, for your emails to work with us, please contact WordPress support and ask them to update/configure the settings below on their DNS backend:
  Create Mail MX record –> mail.reikithis.com.au
  Mail A record needs to point to –> 163.47.74.153
  Change domain’s mx record to point to mail.reikithis.com.au

  It looks like you have slightly different MX records set up:

  I’m hesitant to change them without confirmation from you that you want me to.

  Josh, please if you can make them work, go for it. It is disinclination for me as it is. Louise

  That should have been ‘disfunctional’ :/
