In order to use your domain name (ex., mydomain.org) with the RescueGroups.org email services you must update the Domain Name Services (DNS) records for the domain name to point the Mail eXchanger (MX) record to RescueGroups.org.

NOTE
Our Domain Names Guide includes information about using domain names. If you are not viewing this chapter in that guide, consider reviewing it for more information.
For more information about our Email Hosting Service, see our Email Hosting/Forwarding Services guide.
If your domain name is registered with RescueGroups.org
If your domain name is currently registered with RescueGroups.org, contact RescueGroups.org support and we can update the MX record so that incoming email is delivered to the RescueGroups.org email services. You may also choose to update the records yourself through our DNS Control Panel (Go to Services > Domains).
If your domain name is registered with a registrar other than RescueGroups.org
If your domain name is currently registered with a Registrar other than RescueGroups.org (ex., GoDaddy, Yahoo, etc), you will need to login to your account at the Registrar to update the domain name's MX record.
Please follow your Registrar's instructions for updating DNS records and configure the records and add the following:
Record type: MX
Content: host1.rescuegroups.org
You should remove any existing MX records so that the record shown above is the only MX record in your domain name.
