I have this domain www.example.com and in its DNS there are 4 records
1st: 2 Nameserver records
2nd: CName(Alias) Record which is pointing host as www to some address
3rd: A(Host) Record where @ is host and pointing to an IP address
Im also forwarding my naked domain example.com to www.example.com with 301(permanant) type forwarding.
I bought the domain from Godaddy, which provides free email forwarding service with domain.
Now when im creating a email [email protected] which is forwarding all the emails to [email protected] from godaddy domain control panel, then after doing this when im sending testing email to [email protected] from [email protected] then I should receieve my testing email on [email protected] but im not getting it.
Is there anything wrong with anything? Do the DNS records need to be modified? I searched over the internet and what i found was that i cant use 2 different services(hosting+email) from 2 different sources..is it correct? Please Help
Your MX DNS records need to be pointed to godaddy's secureserver.net servers for the forwarding to work properly.
