Danoct Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Go to "MX Records" in cPanel. this is what i already tried, but there you can only change the existing entry (the only one) there is no possibility to add any new entries. So... help.. i need to add about 5-6 new entries any suggestion? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 It's completely impossible to have more than one MX record for a domain. That's not how they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danoct Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 I don't get it!? than why i'm requested to set the following: Sign in to your domain hosting company's website using the username and password associated with your domain. Navigate to an MX record maintenance page. MX records are special DNS (Domain Name Service) records, and are often located under sections titled "DNS Management," "Mail Server Configuration," or "Name Server Management." You may need to turn on advanced settings to allow editing of these MX records. Delete any existing MX records before entering new MX records. For each MX record, enter information according to the entries in the following table. You may not be allowed to enter the priority values exactly as they appear in the table below; in that case, simply ensure that the server addresses are prioritized in the same order as they appear in the table. (i.e. The priority ranking [1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5, 5] should work just as well as [1, 5, 5, 10, 10, 10, 10] so long as you keep the addresses in the right order.) If you're asked to specify the type of each record you're adding, enter "MX". MX records often require the specific format of DNS records, including a trailing dot (".") at the end of any full-qualified domain names (e.g. "server.example.com.") Set any TTL values to the maximum allowed. MX Server address Priority ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 10 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 20 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 20 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 30 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 30 ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 30 ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 30 So... please help!

Ashoat Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Ah - Google is actually having you set the same MX record, but just under multiple servers with different priorities for failover. Go ahead and just set the first record, and you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
