Hi everybody, I’m testing DigitalOcean, pretty satisfied with performance. I’ve been able to install ISP Config to handle my 10 websites if finally migrate all my sites to Digital Ocean from 1and1 but …
Which is the right configuration for MX records. I’ve tried with a previous domain global-communities.com but I’m not able to send neither receiving emails.
I configure MX record for global-communities.com but nslookup is telling me the following and it does not work.
global-communities.com mail exchanger = 0 global-communities.com.global-communities.com.
Anybody could help me?
Best regards and thank you in advance.

@viktor.niniadis: DNS records are not related to your droplet itself. It usually takes a couple of hours until DNS propagates. <br> <br>Is it working now?
I’ ve solved it. <br>I tried on one site to change the mx record to: <br> MX 10 mail1.mydomain.com. <br>and it worked, <br>on my other site I changed it to: <br> MX 1 mydomain.com. <br> MX 5 mydomain.com. <br> MX 10 mydomain.com. <br> MX 1 mail.mydomain.com. <br> MX 5 mail.mydomain.com. <br> MX 10 mail.mydomain.com. <br>and it also worked! <br> <br>I don’t know which one is proper to use but both worked for me.
Edit your MX record and add a dot at the end of the value: <br> <br>Priority: 5 <br>Value/Hostname: global-communities.com.
