  My email and domain provider is DirectNic.
  They have told me to speak with WP in order to set up.
  I do not know if I have proper syntax.
  My email is sending but not receiving messages.

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

  Hi there,

  Can you provide me the custom records that you need to add?

  Thank you!

  A = mail.timburke.com point 199.7.108.176

  The mx info is already entered, but I don’t know if the syntax is correct (do I need the “< >”?).

  Hi there,

  It has been added and I fixed the MX records to fit our format. Please note that it may take 2-3 days for everything to propagate.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
