godaddy mx records

Hi

can anyone help? unfortunately i didnt realize that the company i did work for wanted to keep their email with godaddy and now i have to change the mx records, but what they put doesnt match what i see specifically in discountasp.net?

they said

• yourdomain.com ? MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = smtp.secureserver.net
• yourdomain.com ? MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mailstore1.secureserver.net

can anyone walk me through the changes i need to make? i saw another post on this but it was from a few years ago and it didnt seem to be the same.


thanks

 

You want to add new MX records for those - In Control Panel the "Distance" field relates to what they are calling "MX preference," and "Destination" relates to "mail exchanger."
So you would enter this one:

yourdomain.com ? MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = smtp.secureserver.net

Like so:

Domain Name = Don't enter anything - yourdomain.com will already be there by default.
Destination = smtp.secureserver.net
Distance = 0
TTL = 3600 (default)

And this one:

yourdomain.com ? MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mailstore1.secureserver.net

Would be:

Domain Name = Don't enter anything - yourdomain.com will already be there by default.
Destination = mailstore1.secureserver.net
Distance = 10
TTL = 3600 (default)

After you get those set up you will want to delete the MX records that were there by default.
