MX Record, Where to set it?

[bobi]

Hello,

Anyone know where to set MX Records.

I have a hosted website and I want to change it's mail server to another one.

Thanx in advance.

In the control pannel go to Domains, then click on DNS configuration, and you should be able to chang it in there. (thats for Hsphere)

You'll need to make sure the plan hosting the account has "Custom DNS" enabled at plan level as well. Also be sure to turn of email on the domain too (unless you want to use Vortech as a secondary MX in which case add your own MX with a prioirty < 10)

I added the first line... but the second one keeps on giving me an error message of xxx.yyy.zzz
plz help


@ IN MX 10 webmaillogin.com.
mail IN CNAME webmaillogin.com.

You must first create an A record to the other mailserver (or CNAME though preferrably an A record as CNAME's will confuse some servers)

call it say pop3 or something and then in the MX record you would have

webmaillogin.com IN MX 10 pop3.webmailogin.com
