Posted August 29, 2014

I have the domain registered at godaddy, dns are pointing to the digitalocean servers. On digitalocean, the dns settings are have the google MX records but I can not receive emails in gmail.

My conf on digitalocean: https://www.diigo.com/item/image/4x0jc/gbd9

My conf on godaddy: https://www.diigo.com/item/image/4x0jc/06c3

What is wrong?

Thx!

The records are showing up now, so it should work:

How long ago did you add those MX records? Your DigitalOcean DNS settings look right, but your domain isn’t returning any MX records when queried at the moment.

$ dig -t mx paginawebrural.com

Unless I am missing something they look good to me.

How long ago did you make this change? It can take a few hours to update.

Hello,

From what I can tell everything looks correct on the DigitalOcean & GoDaddy side.

Have you setup a GMAIL EMAIL HOSTING ACCOUNT?
