Hi,

I have DirectAdmin installed on my server and one of the domains that's setup there has the mail set on outlook.com
This domain has WordPress and when someone uses the contact form and sends an email, it's not arriving the email (in outllook.com where is setup)
If I send emails from Gmail or any other places I get the emails.
So I guess because the domain is on the server doesn't know to send it to outlook.
I setup the MX to outlook:
MX​
10 domain-com.mail.protection.outlook.com.

What else to do?

Thank you
 
You might have a search on the forum. I just posted a reply at the same question 2 days ago and this is also in the docs.

When using an external mailserver:
1.) Go to the MX records page of the domain
2.) DEselect the option to use this server for mail
3.) When using Microsoft, use the pulldown and choose Office 365 and all DNS records will be filled for you.
4.) Use the correct smtp settings in Wordpress (or where ever needed) when using smtp.
