I recently transferred a domain (first time I have done this) from Crazy Domains to Digital Ocean. We have 10 mailboxes back on Crazy Domains which now don’t work. When I spoke to Crazy Domain they told me I need to add the MX Records to Digital Ocean, however so far I have failed to get this right.
Crazy Domains gave me: MX Record: mail.myurl.com MX A Record: ip.ip.ip.ip
I have tried adding them on the existing DNS entry for myurl.com A mail ip.ip.ip.ip MX 1 mail.myurl.com.
I have also tried adding a new DNS entry starting with mail.myurl.com A mail ip.ip.ip.ip MX 1 mail.myurl.com (I have also tried 5 and 10 for the priority)
Questions:
Any help will be greatly appreciated. My support guy is away for a couple of days and I would like to get the mailboxes working again if possible :)

Well well well, there you go… All I needed was a little patience!
Appears to be a small delay after adding the record. I can now send/receive from the Crazy Domains accounts fine! Oh well, hopefully my post helps others…
