  Hi I’ve mapped my domain name to my wordpress blog however I’m having trouble getting my email to work.

  my domain provider one.com gave me with the following mx to enter into wordpress’ custom dns settings.

  mx-cluster-d1.one.com
  mx-cluster-d2.one.com

  However when I enter these I get the following message

  We can’t save these records because they don’t look right to us. Check the errors below. Please contact support if you are unable to resolve the problem.

  1. This does not match any of the DNS record formats.
  2. This does not match any of the DNS record formats.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

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

  Try

  MX 5 mx-cluster-d1.one.com.
  MX 5 mx-cluster-d2.one.com.

  Note the . after “com” and don’t change any of the other records. For info “MX” tells it what the record type is and “5” is the priority, both mail servers are given the same priority here.
