  The MX records need to be formatted like this:

  MX 0 MX2.NETREGISTRY.NET.
  MX 10 MX3.NETREGISTRY.NET.

  I’ve added them to your Edit DNS page for you. Can you double check to make sure the server names are MX2.NETREGISTRY.NET instead of 2.NETREGISTRY.NET ? Sometimes people add an MX to the front when they really don’t mean to do that.

  Many thanks – these have been accepted. The server names do include the MX prefix, perhaps they don’t absolutely need to but that’s the advice from the email host … thanks again for your wonderful help.

  Okay, as long as that’s the same address from the email host, that should be perfect!

  Cheers. :)
