    You be welcome

    Don’t bash them too hard on the syntax – different systems have slightly different syntax – when I moved here – I kept my email at my old host – I got the records from their head tech engineer – and things blew up – right info but wrong syntax – I had to get one of the engineers here to help with the syntax

    Thanks. It seems that I can’t send emails from my iMac either: it says ‘could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the account preferences’.

    It used to work so presumably I need to make some changes. I assume this is to do with fasthosts rather than wordpress?

    Actually no: it seems I needed to remove the original MX listing in WordPress. However now I need to wait another 24 hours to see if its sorted or not!

    All sorted now: it seems outgoing emails can be stopped by excess wrong things in the MX records too.
