  I got that far, but when entering in the codes that open x-change thru namecheap (where my domain is registered) gave me, I’m still not able to send and receive mail.

  Then post the code here and maybe someone can see the problems –

  be sure to use the “code” box notation (at the top of the reply box) to keep the formatting and to make sure things are not changed

  Just saying “it’s broken” is not much for us to help you with

  in regards to records, what do these things mean?

  MX <pref> <host>
  TXT <text>
  CNAME <subdomain> <host>

  what is “pref”?
  what is “host”?
  what is “subdomain”?

  MX oxmail.registrar-servers.com

  CNAME oxwebmail.registrar-servers.com

  TXT v=spf1 include:ox.registrar-servers.com ip4:64.22.89.133 ip4:64.22.89.134 -all
