  I need to fill in the custom DNS settings in the ‘edit DNS’ box on my dashboard as my email is not working although the domain mapping from 123-reg works fine.

  123-reg gives following settings:
  MX0.123-reg.co.uk 10
  MX1.123-reg.co.uk 20

  How do I enter these in correct format for Wordsearch? My email (no longer working since I mapped the domain name southeasttourguides.co.uk away from 123-reg) is (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  Try this:

  MX 10 123-reg.co.uk.
  MX 20 123-reg.co.uk.

  If that doesn’t work, double-check with 123-reg to make sure you have the right MX records.

  Thanks – 123-reg called me over the weekend and it is all sorted and working fine now.
