Getting Started With GMS Cloud
Question:
I have an existing internet domain name and would like all new incoming email for that domain to be hosted on the GMS Cloud service. How can I achieve this?
Answer:
If you have an existing domain via an ISP or domain registrar [e.g. GoDaddy, 123reg.com etc.], you need to contact your ISP or domain registrar and ask them to edit your MX records. The MX record for your domain should point at the following server:
smtp.domain.com
The full format of the correct MX record is as follows:
Your-domain.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = smtp.domain.com
This change may take a few hours to complete, but emails will start to arrive at your GMS Cloudaccount after a short time. We recommend still checking your previous email account for a few days to ensure no emails are missed.
