The following steps use example MX records. Be sure to enter the exact MX
records shown in your activation email.
To modify your MX records with GoDaddy, do the following:
1.
Log in to your account at www.godaddy.com.
2.
Open the Domains tab and select My Domain Names. You'll be directed to the
Manage Domains page.
3.
Click the domain that you'd like to use.
4.
Click the Total DNS Control And MX Records in the box entitled Total DNS
Control.
5.
Clear all existing MX Records by clicking Delete.
6.
Click OK in the confirmation dialogue box.
7.
Once you've deleted all existing records, click Add New MX Record. The MX
(Mail Exchangers) Record Wizard will appear.
8.
For each MX Record, enter the following information:
•
For the Select the Priority Value drop-down menu, enter the priority value.
•
For Enter a Host Name, leave the default setting to @.
•
For the Select TTL Value drop-down menu, the default Time to Live (TTL)
value may be set to 1 Week. This will appear as 604800 seconds within
the DNS system. This means that it will require one week for your MX
records to propagate. For future updates to your records, we suggest you
enter a shorter time span for the TTL, such as 1 day or 1 hour.
•
For Enter Goes To Address, enter the following MX records, including the
trailing dots at the end of each record. Be sure to enter your actual
domain name -- for example, solarmora.com -- for yourdomain:
For additional instructions on changing your MX records, see “Tips for
Changing Your MX Records with GoDaddy” on page 18.
9.
Click Continue.
10. Click Add to confirm each entry. The DNS Manager main page will reappear
when you've finished.
Keep in mind that changes to MX records will take time to propagate throughout
the Internet. The length of time depends on the Time to Live (TTL) for your
domain.
