simple email question

[inusrat]

I hope it is a simple question.
My email account was not working properly so I was told to do the following.

CName modifications:
mail.ambdeex.com mapped to pop.secureserver.net
email.ambdeex.com mapped to email.secureserver.net

The company where I have my does not have "CName" but "alisas"

I am just wondering how will I achieve the above

Thanks

From what I can see, you have the following MX records:-

;; ANSWER SECTION:
ambdex.com. 120 IN MX 20 mailstore1.secureserver.net.
ambdex.com. 120 IN MX 1 smtp.secureserver.net.

And the primary MX is up ..

[chris@uranium chris]$ telnet smtp.secureserver.net 25
Trying 64.202.166.12...
Connected to smtp.secureserver.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 pre-smtp01-01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net ESMTP

So you shouldn't be having any mail problems. You certainly don't need records for mail.ambdex.com and email.ambdex.com.

What problem are you having with your email?

Chris.

Thanks for looking up,

Some of my email were coming to the the Bulk folder instead of inbox. Thats whay they told me to do that.

My email account is with a different company and where my DNS (A, MX) records are at a different company.

Thanks

MX records only affect what servers email is sent to. They do not control where the mail goes once on that server. Setting up CNAME's for hosts that have nothing to do with your MX records will have no effect.

Actually I have got email account/domian (ambdex.com) from dynonames.com
But because i have Dynamce IP I have my DNS records (A, MX)at dnsexit.com

Inorder to check my email. I first logon to to my domain and then logon to my email. They have a way where you can straight access your email by going to

http://email.ambdex.com

That does not work. They told me since I have my DNS not at their site. Inorder for it to work I should do the following at dnsexit.com.

mail.ambdex.com mapped to pop.secureserver.net
email.ambdex.com mapped to email.secureserver.net

So thats what I am trying to do.

http://www.ambdex.com

Well, if you want to log onto pop.secureserver.net using the hostname mail.ambdex.com. then a CNAME should be fine for that.

What would you be using email.ambdex.com for? Your MX record points to smtp.secureserver.net.

Chris.

You asked "What would you be using email.ambdex.com for? "

I want to be able to hit

http://email.ambdex.com

because that will save me lot of time. Now to check my email I first logon to my account on their site, then click on email account and then logon again to my email.

Thats whay i need to do

mail.ambdex.com mapped to pop.secureserver.net
email.ambdex.com mapped to email.secureserver.net
