Can I redirect my Emails back to my domain provider?

Posted on October 28, 2019

Hello, My domains are registered at OVH. I’m able to send emails but not receive. The only thing I’ve done is to change the DNS servers to DigitalOcean.

I have a Email plan at OVH for my emails that I want to keep using.

Hello,

Yes, you can fix that by changing your MX record back to your original MX record. If you are not sure what your initial MX record was, I would recommend getting in touch with your email provider and they will be able to provide you with that.

Once you have the record, here’s a step by step guide on how to change your DNS records via your DigitalOCean Control panel and add the MX record to your DNS zone:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
