Hi,

I want to check that I have correctly added the following settings correctly as so far the email address is just returning a failed to deliver when I send to it:


Type Priority Host name Points to address TTL


MX 0 @ lawasia-com.mail.eo.outlook.com 1 Hour


CNAME autodiscover autodiscover.outlook.com 1 Hour


In direct Admin cpanel under DNS Settings I can add an MX record and CNAME record but only as the following is this correct?

Name Type Value
lightfoottravel-com.mail.eo.outlook.com MX 0
autodiscover CNAME autodiscover.outlook.com

It won't let me put an MX value as anything other than a number from dropdown box.

Help appreciated!
 
Still no joy

I have put the full stop at the end of the domains etc as instructed. This just won't work. How difficult can it be to point your MX records?

Please if anyone has experience of pointing successfully please can you let me know how you did it.

This is indeed as it can be done in directadmin.
However, I think you need a dot after your mx record, so like this:

Code: 
lightfoottravel-com.mail.eo.outlook.com.  MX  0
Next to that you might need to disable local mail server.

I thought that Office 365 worked with SRV records.
