Hi I'm having trouble setting up the MX records for the google apps. I try to set up Code: CNAME Hostname: mail Target: ghs.google.com MX Server address Priority hostname ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 10 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 10 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 10 ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 10 ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 10 but when i checked at http://www.checkdns.net i have error Code: Domain mydomain.com has no MX records, but it has A record for domain. This configuration is not recommended Domain mydomain.com has only one mail-server Checking mail server (A record for domain) x.y.z.197 [x.y.z.197] Error connecting to mail server x.y.z.197[x.y.z.197] port 25 : Connection refused. Some of your MX do not work properly please help me
How long ago did you set up the MX records? Your priorities are wrong. They can not be all 10. I have mine set like so: Code: CNAME Hostname: mail Target: ghs.google.com[B].[/B] <---- Note the period at the end of this example.com. ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 10 example.com. ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 20 example.com. ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 30 example.com. ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 40 example.com. ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 50 Note the periods at the end of all the entries.
thanks i setting up Code: CNAME Host: mail Target: ghs.google.com MX ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 10 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 20 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 30 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 40 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 50 hostname field is empty is that correct? i still have error Code: Error connecting to mail server x.y.z.197[x.y.z.197] port 25 : Connection refused. Some of your MX do not work properly my firewall is off mail server 127.0.0.1:25 LISTEN but not found ip x.y.z.197:25
