MX record for subdomains?

I finally figured it out: put in your fully qualified subdomain as a new domain in your DNS settings, as if you were setting up an entirely new domain. (subdomain.domain.com). You can then set the MX records from there.

+1 for adding sub-domain MX records. We had a news letter setup when we migrated it does not work now, because it was configured for a sub-domain. You inbond emails are handled by gmail. Any detailed tutorials on how to get this working (work-around) ?

Found out that you can actually set the subdomain mx record via the api, it also gets displayed correctly in the zone file but not in the interface itself.

I ended up here because I need to add MX records for Mailgun. I am saddened because this feature, although it doesn’t seem on the surface like it would be difficult to add, doesn’t exist, and there doesn’t appear to be any desire to add it. Your DNS manager is beautiful, and would be my preferred choice, over GoDaddy, ZoneEdit, Google, Gandi, or whatever. I humbly ask that this be place on your todo list.

Thanks,

You can’t do this in the UI, but you can in the API:

curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” -H “Authorization: Bearer API_KEY_HERE” -d ‘{“type”:“MX”,“name”:“SUBDOMAIN.”,“data”:“mxa.mailgun.org.”,“priority”:10,“port”:null,“weight”:null}’ “https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains/DOMAIN_HERE.com/records”

Note this is all one line, and name goes in the subdomain. Don’t include your domain in that or it will duplicate it.

Hey guys, I have the same problem and I’m using CloudFlare as DNS server, and it does not allow me to add the subdomain as a new domain in CloudFlare.

+100!

+1 for this!

Hi jcheroske, as davidmarshalljr said in the first answer, it is possible to create a new domain from scratch, in the main DNS window (instead or yourdomain.com use subdomain.yourdomain.com as domain name), and then inside it you can add MX and TXT records for mailgun, I have modified it right now and it seems to work.
