Hi!
Newbie here, just signed up today and am loving it so far.
I’ve added Gmail’s MX records to my DNS settings page but wonder, does my droplet have to be running in order for me to receive mail? Or will I still receive mail even if the droplet is powered off. I only have one droplet, and it’s tied to the same domain as the email I’m setting up.
Thanks.
