I have a problem to set the MX records on the DO. I have an account with GoDaddy, but I am using the DO for service. However, I also bought the emails service with GoDaddy to and I have problem to set up. According to GoDaddy if I dont make service with them, they dont provide service for emails too.
My question, how to setup it so I can start receiving emails from outside the world?

I do not have any resource at GoDaddy but I know how to use the third party DNS service. You can try below:
- Confirm that you have replaced the default nameserver with DigitalOcean (ns1.digitalocean.com etc.) at Godday’s domain setting panel.
- Waiting and checking the new nameserver is effective.
- Add these records with GoDaddy email service at DigitalOcean’s Domain tab, these records should contain MX, TXT, maybe also have CNAME if it provide web-based login interface
