I'm lately experiencing E-mail forwarding issues with MyDomain.com, which is using m1.dnsix.com as my MX record for my domains.

I don't know why the E-mails aren't going through when sending from GMail to my domain, since I don't get any error response back whatsoever.

I find it quite weird, since ALL my E-mails are going through when sending them from Stellenbosch University's E-mail servers. The E-mails are also going through when sent from many other E-mail servers across the globe.

I've now gone and contacted MyDomain.com for support in this regard. If they can't give me advise, I'll probably change over to ZoneEdit :(

Any one else experiencing the same?
 
Thanks warwick.

My brother also suggested that, so I've gone and disabled E-mail forwarding and then setup the MX records to point to google.com after I've created the Google App account for that domain.

Now the E-mail catching on that domain is working nicely!

I must say that I'm quite impressed by Google Apps. Like you could view your email at http://mail.yourdomain.co.za/ if you've set it up correctly :D
 
Google Apps rocks, I had a problem about 18 months ago where my personal email account got spam bombed, after receiving 15 gig's of email in a single day I decided enough was enough and changed over the entire domain to Google Apps and havn't looked back since then.
 
PsyWulf, that link that you've posted didn't work correctly.
Instead I read the tutorial here: http://www.systemshock.co.za/forums...e-mail-domain-e-mail-hosting-with-googleapps/

I'm not sure why you stated that the DNS could take up to 3 days to update. Usually mine updates within 12 hours when adding a new subdomain with MyDomain.com (instead of ZoneEdit). Unfortunately MyDomain doesn't allow you to change the TTL with the free accounts - I'm not sure if you can with paid accounts either.
If you want to lookup the time it would take to update the IP/CName linked to the domain name, then you can use the DIG Tool found here: http://tools.whois.net/dig/
The TTL is expressed in seconds, which is usually 3600 (1 hour) or 86400 (1 day).

To finish all those steps, the longest one would be to wait for a .za.net or .org.za registration to go through, where as a paid .co.za would be almost instant.

I love to have my own domain name & wildcard email addresses linked to 1 account. Then I can always see who gave out my email address to whom, resulting in me getting spam. So for each site, I register with an unique E-mail addres, eg. for mybroadband I would register [email protected], which would then end up in my [email protected] inbox :D

To clarify,the 3 days statement is directly from zoneedit,and that is for changes to propagate through from top tier DNS providers to basically every child dns imagineable ( if TTL is 1 day and there is a 2nd and 3rd tier dns server top update they could take upto 3 days to update to the 3rd tier box )
 
Getting same issue with mi.dnsix.com

I use google apps and have changed nothing. now I get the error:

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

[email protected]

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 unrouteable address (state 14).
