  Hi, I’m in the process of mapping a custom domain to my wordpress blog. As off now we’ve been getting emails linked to this domain for a while through google apps.

  According to the “Map an existing domain” help page I could stop getting mails if I don’t edit the DNS settings on wordpress.com? Right now I see a few entries with my domain reading:

  mail handled by ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com. with priority 1
  mail handled by ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.com. with priority 10
  mail handled by ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.com. with priority 10
  mail handled by ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.com. with priority 10
  mail handled by ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.com. with priority 10
  mail handled by ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com. with priority 5
  mail handled by ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com. with priority 5

  So if I proceed to change the name servers on my domain’s page to complete the move to wordpress do I risk stop getting my emails or will they continue to work with how it is setup at the moment?

  Thank you!
