Changing MX records in named zone file
- by Paul England
I forgot how all this works. I have a GoDaddy account, using my own DNS and whatnot. I'm having trouble getting my email to work. They said I need to update my MX records. basically, I have the following. 184.168.30.42 is the domain's IP address, obviously.
gamengai.com. 14400 IN NS n1
gamengai.com. 14400 IN NS n2
ns1 14400 IN A 184.168.30.42
ns2 14400 IN A 184.168.30.42
gamengai.com. 14400 IN A 184.168.30.42
localhost 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1
ftp 14400 IN A 184.168.30.42
www 14400 IN A 184.168.30.42
mail 14400 IN A 184.168.30.42
subdomain 14400 IN A 184.168.30.42
gamengai.com 14400 IN MX 10 mail
Mail doesn't work though... they say to make the following change:
0 smtp.secureserver.net
10 mailstore1.secureserver.net
So should the last line point to mailstore1.secureserver.net instead of mail in the last field? What about the other line?
I had this working at one time, but it's totally gotten away from me. It's a virtual dedicated server and their support for this stuff is pretty bad... almost as bad as my admin skills since I went the programmer route.
