I bought kidkod.io domain name on Gandi, and I am trying to link it with digital ocean’s DNS.
I set up an email redirection on gandi :
contact@ => forwards to : romain.jouin@gmail.com
====================
Type Hostname Value TTL
TXT kidkod.io returns “v=spf1 include:_mailcust.gandi.net ?all” 3600
MX kidkod.io mail handled by fb.mail.gandi.net.50 14400
MX kidkod.io mail handled by spool.mail.gandi.net. 10 14400
A kidkod.io directs to 167.99.94.16 3600
NS kidkod.io directs to ns1.digitalocean.com. 1800
NS kidkod.io directs to ns2.digitalocean.com. 1800
NS kidkod.io directs to ns3.digitalocean.com. 1800
====================
I don’t receive any mail if I send one to contact@kidkod.io it get lost in the wild (and no error message back neither).
What do I do wrong ? How to fix the issue ?

Thanks for your answer, the NS records are indeed registered in gandi, so I just took off the NS records in digital ocean for the Domain kidkod.io .
Let’s hope it solves the issue (no mention of any NS needs on gandi’s interface). They just state about : @ 10800 IN MX 10 spool.mail.gandi.net. @ 10800 IN MX 50 fb.mail.gandi.net. @ 10800 IN TXT “v=spf1 include:_mailcust.gandi.net ?all”
Let’s see !
I checked your WHOIS, which looks good. I checked your TXT and MX records, they also look good (utilizing the common
dig
utility).Do the gandi instructions specify creating
NS
records? That’s the only part of the setup that I don’t see any instructions for. Plus, if your WHOIS is pointed at ns1.digitalocean.com, you don’t need to set up any NS records for your domainkidkod.io
- if there aren’t instructions for it, I’d remove those NS records from your domain in the DO cloud panel.DNS changes can be slow to propagate, sometimes taking up to 48 H to become fully active, so that might be the issue there.
Hope this helps - please let us know if you have more questions :)
