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)

This is the infromation, I need to add.. But the field are not equall in the control panel!

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

Everything is set great...

I am able to send only, but not receive!!

I've tried sending from another email to this new MX email. But still not working?!

It's going to need to propagate as well, may not work for 24hours or so correctly.

Hi Guys
I have this issue, I was wondering if you can help me.
I need to host email for somebody that has web hosting with another provider.
Is there any way I can do it?

Thank you so much for your answer

yes, in a nutshell you simply load the domain into your service plan (or any other plan you may use for odd jobs likes this) at Vortech, make sure email is enabled and then get them to point their "MX" record at their existing host to the correct vortech mailserver.
