  I just pointed my hover domain to wordpress, and after a little bit the custom domain now loads my wordpress site. No issue there.

  Where I am stuck is that I no longer receive email to the inbox (email is also at hover). I went to the Domains area and added the CNAME and MX records, I suspect this is where the issue lies, but usnure of how to proceed if/or I need to change anything else on Hover’s side.

  At present my Domains area of wordpress has:
  MX @ 1 0mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com with priority 10
  CNAME mail mail.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com

  what am I missing? (and thanks in advance for the help!)

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

  to be specific:
  So far all I’ve changed is adding records to the WordPress side
  I don’t get a bounceback, the email seems to vanish into a black hole.

  there was a portion of the mx record that I had entered incorrectly.
  It looked like :
  “10mx.hover”

  but! when editing the record that 10 is not part of the value it is the priority. this was not immidiately clear on their page until I was going back over my settings once again.
