CNAME does not work

[alexducatti]

I host ducatti.it and use the DA server to just handle DNS.
I have MX records which work fine, but the defined CNAME record doesn't work at all.

The "NAME" collum is mail.ducatti.it and "VALUE" is ghs.google.com.

What is wrong?

Should I delete any "A" or "NS" record ?
Should "NAME" is only the word "mail" or should be "mail.ducatti.it." - with a dot at the end?
I have tried everything !!!

Any idea ?

Thanks

Name walue can me mail or mail.ducatti.it. result will be the same As I understand - you want to change the MX record, so delete the old record and add the new. Good luck.

Thanks for your help.

I´ve already changed mx records, and it works fine.

But I want to change my email web address. The standard is http://mail.google.com/a/ducatti.it but I want to change to http://mail.ducatti.it.

Google says that I should enter as the CNAME value or alias: mail
And I should set the CNAME destination to the following address: ghs.google.com

But it does not work

This is the actual configuration.

What should I change?

ducatti.it A 194.177.96.153
ftp A 194.177.96.153
localhost A 127.0.0.1
pop A 194.177.96.153
ducatti.it. NS ns1.ion-mnt.net
ducatti.it. NS ns2.ion-mnt.net
ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. MX 50
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. MX 50
ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. MX 40
ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. MX 60
ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. MX 60
ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. MX 60
ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. MX 60
mail.ducatti.it. CNAME ghs.google.com.

You can not add redirect to DNS as http://mail.google.com/a/ducatti.it I suggest you to add a frame or permant redirect from http://mail.ducatti.it to http://mail.google.com/a/ducatti.it

Hummmm, I dont think so.

I have another domain registered in arsys.pt ( the domain is wthg.eu ) and the email web page works fine.

It was http://mail.google.com/a/wthg.eu and now it is http://mail.wthg.eu because I add the configuration mail.wthg.eu. CNAME ghs.google.com. there.
I´ve tried the same here and it does not work

 

[smtalk]

So you just need

mail.ducatti.it. CNAME ghs.google.com.

As I see - mail.ducatti.it is working fine now

 

[alexducatti]

I did it, but it does not work

Hey, it's working Maybe something wrong with your ISP DNS server. Take a look at the screenshot (attachment).

 

[alexducatti]

Yes, now it works fine !!!

Thanks a lot for your support. I apreciate it.
