Hi. I got a windows server 2008 where I host a site, now I decided to have the email on google apps. I did add the MX records I get from them to my DNS settings on the server but with no luck. I recently started doing server stuff so I did like this.

Server Manager / Roles / DNS Server / DNS / SERVERNAME / MYDOMAIN / Forward Lookup / New MX

Host or child domain: What goes here?
FQDN: here is my domain name, i think because I named the ns my domain?
FQDN MX: here is the google MX record I got from them
MSP: 10

I have no Idea where I go wrong but I thought I would ask you guys if any of you can maybe give me some tips on what to look for or any newbee mistake I do that you see from this little info.

I really appreciate all help I could get on this.
