Email may not work for the domain, though... No A record to map mail.waimeatoastmasters.org to server IP.

The dig test we use will pass if there is at least one A record. As we recommend 3 A records, missing 2 A records will not fail the data validation.

In essence, in this case, just because the system does not flag an error does not guarantee that the custom domain stuff will work completely.

Hi Steve ;)

Thanks for the follow-through -- I just double (triple!) checked and the A record for mail is still there from the past weekend. I am puzzled as to why dig does not see it. I have the 3 A records and the MX records, as instructed. I am learning that there are all sorts of way the info does not get updated for all ways we may examine it -- sigh..... Thanks again!

Everything should work ok then. Can you do emails with your custom domain name? Check the Club Email Addresses dialog/tab for the correct email addresses w/ the custom domain.

Please let us know if everything is working ok so we can close out this thread.
