Nameservers & E-Mail

[webmaster74]

Our organization currently uses Network Solutions. I just changed our nameservers to x10 yesterday, and today we have no access to our e-mail through Network Solutions. Is this a result of the nameservers change, and if so, how do I host my site on x10 and maintain access to e-mail? (note: eventually, we'll be switching e-mail over to Google Apps).

Yes its from the name servers change, but it can easily be fixed.

Go to your cPanel. Under the Mail section, click on MX Entries.

In the Email Routing box, select Remote Mail Exchanger and click Change.

Add the following MX Entry for your root domain:
10INBOUND.MYDOMAIN.COM.NETSOLMAIL.NET

use the highest priority available, which should be 0.

Then go to Simple DNS Editor in cPanel (under Domains), and add the following CNAME records:
mail --> MAIL.MYDOMAIN.COM.NETSOLMAIL.NET
smtp --> SMTP.MYDOMAIN.COM.NETSOLMAIL.NET

In all the records above, change MYDOMAIN.COM to our own domain name.
