Hi, i'm noob and i've got a doubt I need to create a mail asociated to my domain (mandasms.com.ar) and I don't know how to do that. Can you help me, please ?

110mb subdomain: http://mandasms.110mb.com
Domain: http://www.mandasms.com.ar

I searched with no results. Thank you, and sorry for my bad english.

You will need to use an alternate DNS service, like afraid.org or editdns.net

Then you will be able to add MX records to your domain.

[Piotr GRD]

To be more precise:

- mail [at] mandasms.110mb.com is not possible at all;
- mail [at] mandasms.com.ar with your current DNS configuration (using 110mb nameservers) is not possible, but if you change your DNS configuration then this will be not so hard.


So what you need to do...


A) Changing the DNS configuration.

If your domain registrar have a DNS service for you you can use it. You can change the nameservers for your domain back to your registrars default nameservers.
If your domain registrar do not have a DNS service for you or for some reason you don't want to use those services you can search for some other DNS service, even free:
_{^{http://www.110mb.com/forum/free-dns-hosting-sites-list-t15779.0.html}}

When you will already choose a DNS service then at your domain registrar change the nameservers. Remove ns1 and ns2.110mb.com, and put in there the nameservers of chosen DNS service.

At that chosen DNS service you need to create following DNS records:

mandasms.com.ar        A        66.197.252.182
www.mandasms.com.ar    A        66.197.252.182
OR
mandasms.com.ar        A        66.197.252.182
www.mandasms.com.ar    CNAME    mandasms.com.ar
OR
mandasms.com.ar        A        66.197.252.182
www.mandasms.com.ar    CNAME    mandasms.110mb.com

Only one of above three methods, each one will work the same. The IP 66.197.252.182 is the IP of your 110mb account on box/server 14. At some DNS services mandasms.com.ar and www.mandasms.com.ar can be abbreviated to @ and www.
After some propagation delay (24-48 hours) your domain name will be functional again.


B) Creating an email.

You have to choose some service that will allow you to have an email at your domain. There are free services like Google Apps and other - search in the net and choose some.

At your previously chosen DNS service where you have your A/CNAME records create additional MX and CNAME records following instruction from chosen mail service.

After some propagation delay feel free to send and receive the mails [at] your domain.



Note: This can looks like a black magic for someone unfamiliar with this, but it's really easy when slowly following step by step.

@ Piotr GRD : Could you not do it if you had your own mailserver set up ?

[Piotr GRD]

You mean - instead of using Google Apps etc. use own mailserver that you have on your computer or wherever?

If your mailserver is properly configured, if you know how to properly set up all MX records etc. - of course you can use your own mailserver.

But I, personally, will choose some other reliable service with good spam protection etc. instead of fighting with all the possible technical issues by myself. I can consider only to use own mailserver to send newsletters for many many people to avoid being "accidentally" blocked on a chosen mail service for this.

If you want a free email like yourname@your.domain then go to google/a it works great! and is free!
