Mail server in godaddy and website in digital ocean

Hello,

I had a website and the emails on godaddy, but because godaddy is extremely slow we decided to move the website to DO but I want the mails to be in godaddy because I dont want to migrate them.

The domain in porkbun: This is the configuration I have there:

ns1.digitalocean.com ns2.digitalocean.com ns3.digitalocean.com

In digital ocean, I added this MX record (I dont know if I need another record or only the MX should be enough):

MX mydomain.com stmp.secureserver.net. 14400

I have tried this also:

MX mydomain.com mail.mydomain.com. 14400

But it seems that none of them work or maybe I did not give enough time to propagate.

I have another client with same settings (site in DO and mail in ipage hosting) and I added a MX record in DO mx.ipage.com and it works as expected, so I am not sure what else I need to add to make it work with godaddy.

Anyway I have not found the proper settings I need.

In godaddy they told me that I have to add the following:

A (Host) @ godaddy IP A (Host) mail godaddy IP CNAME www @ MX @ mail.mydomain.com

I but dont think I need to add the A records if not the website in DO wont be accesible, right?

Thanks in advance for your help 🙂
