Hi,

I've read the instructions to be able to create a This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. group email instead of the FreeToastHost toastmasters email address.

In the instructions it says to ask for a DNS Redirection from the Domain supplier as follows:

Record Type Entry IP Address/URL

A domain.ext 50.19.253.65
A www.domain.ext 50.19.253.65
A mail.domain.ext 50.19.253.65
MX 10 mail.domain.ext

Does the domain.ext refer to the toastmaster website address, e.g. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or does it refer to domain bought name, e.g. adelaidecity.org.au

The reason why I ask is because I used our bought domain name for domain.ext and the domain support people replied saying they can't apply these rules because there is already an existing direction to the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. address.

I'm confused - could someone please help?

The domain support people are giving you bad information.

Review viewdns.info/dnsrecord/?domain=adelaidecity.org.au

Replace domain.ext in the docs w/ adelaidecity.org.au for your purposes.

Modify your DNS records as follows:

Delete the following A record:
A adelaidecity.org.au 119.81.10.57

Add the following A records:
A adelaidecity.org.au 50.19.253.65
A www.adelaidecity.org.au 50.19.253.65
A mail.adelaidecity.org.au 50.19.253.65

Thank you for your help. I sent the request as above to the domain provider. I added the custom domain name in the admin settings. I've now tried to create a This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. email but this is the response I received...

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain adelaidecity.org.au by mail.adelaidecity.org.au. [50.19.253.65].

The error that the other server returned was:
550 5.7.1 <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.>... Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.

The following A record must still be added to route email through our server:

A mail.adelaidecity.org.au 50.19.253.65

On a positive note, www.adelaidecity.org.au can now be navigated to in your browser... so some progress. ;)
