I'm having trouble setting up google apps. It's telling me my MX records are configured incorrectly. I currently have:

MX Server addressPriorityASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.10ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.20ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.30

but I can only set up those 3, as if I add another with the same priority, they overwrite.

Can anyone help?

You do not need duplicate entries for one priority, it should work fine with only one. Where are you being told you have incorrectly configured MX entries?

Someone on IRC last night was having this problem. If I can't help you solve it, I'll be glad to escalate the thread.

Are you sure you deleted the old entries?

i am having same problems, google apps said that MX are configured incorrectly. Also i can't write :

ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 10
ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 20
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 20
ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 30
ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 30
ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 30
ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 30

they overwrite MX with same priority like stpvoice said.


But despite saying that this set wrong, it is working.

If you use the directions for CPanel and not the default instructions, they are different. I believe they say only use ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. -> 0

I have a better tutorial, however :D

Okay thanks.

Now I have a problem with the actual editor in cpanel. I get the error:

Error fetching zone data for stpvoices.exofire.net.db's MX

Help?!
