Hi Guys,

I'm still trying to get my head around the email settings with Mailgun so that I can recieve email as set in the JR Hosting CP.

The big question I have is, should I have the MX settings set to Mailgun's MX server or not? I've tried both ways and I'm still having issues getting email through to the destination.

Any advice will be welcome.

Thanks.

Mick

Mick -

you should not have to do anything - the JR hosting API will talk to Mailgun for you. As long as you have updated your Nameservers to point to our hosting, all you need to do is:

- go into your server settings and make sure your Mailgun API Key is correct and save
- go into the "Domain Settings" for one of the domains on your server, and click on the "Configure Email Aliases" button in the "Email Settings" section.

Enter your aliases there and you should be set.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Brian.

So the email forwarding in the JR Hosting will work if I have the domain's (incoming) MX set to Mailgun?

Is that correct?

Are you not using our DNS? Are you trying to set your own DNS?

I'm using the Jamroom Nameservers ns1.linode.com ns2.linode.com ns3.linode.com ns4.linode.com but I had also set the Advanced DNS at my Domain Registrar pointing to the settings suggested by Mailgun for verifying the domain prior to making the domain become the 'Primary' in my JR hosting CP.

Have I got this wrong? Should I just set the Nameservers to linode.com and leave the TXT, CNAME and MX blank at my Registrar and let Jamroom do the rest?

Thanks.

Yeah - all you need is to set your Nameservers at your registrar - once you've done that then the TXT, CNAME and MX settings on your end are not "active" - the active ones will be in our DNS. So you should be set as long as your nameservers are set to the linode ones - you don't need to do anything else.

Hope this helps!

I thought that's how it should work. Thanks for keeping me on the right track once again, Brian.

Cheers.
