  I’m in the process of setting up a new website for a client. I have transferred it over and launched, but their emails aren’t getting though. I’ve been told to edit the DNS (as per the instructions below), but I have no idea how to actually do that. Please help! Thank you!

  Create a new “A” record (in addition to whatever is there already) with the host name “mail” and point it to the IP address: 69.89.22.145
  Then create a new “MX” record (deleting the wordpress one) with the address “mail.razzmatazz.ns.ca”

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

  But what exactly am I supposed to type? I am completely clueless when it comes to coding.

  Thanks!

  Try:

  MX 10 mail.razzmatazz.ns.ca.
  A mail 69.89.22.145

  Remember the full stop after .ca

  MX 10 mail.razzmatazz.ns.ca.
  A mail 69.89.22.145

  if this does not format correctly the heck with it – should be two lines no in the center
