  What should the MX Record be for my domain name (registered with directnic.com but mapped to my wordpress.com blog for $13/yr) if I want WordPress.com to handle the email? My domain name is tnqp.org and my blog is tnqsoparty.wordpress.com

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

  Hi there,

  The MX records would depend on your email host. Here’s a guide that will provide you specific instructions:

  I do not have an email host. I want to use email forwarding here on WordPress.com. Again, can you tell me what my MX record entry should be?

  If you just want to use email forwarding then you don’t need to enter MX records – this is only for email hosting. You can set up email forwarding by going to Store > My Domains in your Dashboard. Here are instructions here:
