Question
Setup a "mail.xxx.com" in Digital Ocean (when xxx.com's hosting server is located in Amazon S3)
Hi guys.
I’ll try to explain as detailed as possible.
- I own a Namecheap domain. And it’s web server is located in Amazon S3 and all directions xxx.com and www.xxx.com are routed with Amazon Route53.
- The point is: my customer wants a corporative mail ( @xxx.com) which server is now placed in DigitalOcean (ubuntu 14.xx).
The point is that my last step is to register the mail.xxx.com domain and point that domain to my IP DigitalOceans’s mail server.
But when I apply that action automatically it creates three “NS” records (which the digital oceans by-default-nameservers) and one “A” record (pointing to the IP). At this time I also created in Amazon Route53 a new “record set” of type MMX with the “mail.xxx.com” route and pointing to the three DigitalOcean “NS” directions.
Finally when I make a ping or trace mail.xxx.com it has no results in return.
I’m a little bit frustrated.
In case you can help us, I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
