Google can´t find MX records for DNS

Posted on October 13, 2016

I’m trying to set up gmail for my domain.

I added the google settings to my MX Records as seen below

ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

but Google don´t seem to find the Records I have already waited 48hrs and the result was that I didn´t have any MX records. I have double checked the spelling and it all adds up.

The domain is from Godaddy but I’ve directed the name servers to Digital Ocean.

I really don´t know why this isn’t working and I don´t want to be without my email for another 48hrs.

here is the Zonefile

$ORIGIN www.mydomain.com. $TTL 1800 www.mydomain.com. IN SOA ns1.digitalocean.com. hostmaster.www.mydomain.com. www.mydomain.com. 1800 IN NS ns1.digitalocean.com. www.mydomain.com. 1800 IN NS ns2.digitalocean.com. www.mydomain.com. 1800 IN NS ns3.digitalocean.com. www.mydomain.com. 1800 IN A 138.68.150.155 www.www.mydomain.com. 1800 IN CNAME www.mydomain.com. www.mydomain.com. 1800 IN MX 1 aspmx.l.google.com. www.mydomain.com. 1800 IN MX 5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com. www.mydomain.com. 1800 IN MX 5 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com. www.mydomain.com. 1800 IN MX 10 alt3.aspmx.l.google.com. www.mydomain.com. 1800 IN MX 10 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com.

Your mx records should be for mydomain.com not www.mydomain.com.

Adding this answer if anyone stumbled upon this question while trying to resolve the similar issues i had.

I had a similar issue, it seems like Add Gmail MX records creates wrong records. replacing ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. with gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com. worked for me.
