  Hi!

  It looks like you’re using w5labs for email. In order to enter the MX record, I’d like to confirm that we have the record correct. Could you double-check with your provider? If you could pass along the following, that should do the trick:

  Hi,

  I’m entering the following MX record:

  MX doragyula.com mail handled by MX.W5.hu. with priority 10

  Can you confirm this is correct?

  I went ahead and added that record for you, but I’d like to make sure it’s correct!

  Hi Jeremey,

  Thank you your kind help, but I think it is maybe not good – maybe good. I have an other domain in WordPress. It is the hozdelakoved.com. I would like to use this domain for mailing.
  What do you think?

  Thank you your help,

  gyula

  Hi Gyula,

  Sorry about that! Just to confirm, the record should have been entered on hozdelakoved.com instead of doragyula.com? Just let me know, and I’ll make the switch!

  It looks like you currently have Email Forwarding setup for that domain. This forwards emails sent to your hozdelakoved.com to a Gmail address. You can see it by clicking “Edit Domain” and then “Email” here:

  https://hozdelakoved.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  If you plan on using a third-party email address with MX records, we will need to remove this email forwarding first. Can you confirm you no longer want this email forwarding? You can read more about email forwarding here:

  Hi,

  Thanks again. Yes, you can cancel the forwarding method because I would like to use an another mail system with my domain, hozdelakoved.com

  Please setup anything what needs for this.

  Thank you:
  gyula
  Have a nice day

  Hi Gyula!

  Thanks for confirming. I’ve gone ahead to remove the email forwarding that was setup for hozdelakoved.com and, in its place, have entered the following MX record:

  MX hozdelakoved.com mail handled by MX.W5.hu. with priority 10

  Can you check with your email provider’s support team that that’s the correct MX record? You can use the email template the Jeremey sent you earlier to confirm this:

  Hi,

  I’m entering the following MX record:

  MX hozdelakoved.com mail handled by MX.W5.hu. with priority 10

  Can you confirm this is correct?

  Let me know how you get on with this.
