Hello,

I've been trying to setup my everyone.net email service on two of my websites. The first one with a mail domain of domain.com works fine.

The second website, absolutelyfreebies.com has its mail domain originally setup to freemail.absolutelyfreebies.com and and mail server sitemail.everyone.net

I've entered all the data into the Host list MX record for freemail.absolutelyfreebies.com

sitemail.everyone.net [1]

and waited for the DNS info to propagate. But it has been over a week now, the email still doesn't work.

I've also setup a second MX record which points to mail domain absolutelyfreebies.com with sitemail.everyone.net [2] data.

I've also tried adding the A record for freemail.absolutelyfreebies.com pointing to everyone.net IP address. But I am still unable to access my login page at everyone.net server, freemail.absolutelyfreebies.com.

What am I missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

AbsolutelyFreebies.com uses the following DNS servers, according to whois:

NS1.DIGITALBORNEO.NET 207.44.178.100
NS2.DIGITALBORNEO.NET 207.44.178.164


[root@]# host absolutelyfreebies.com ns1.digitalborneo.net

absolutelyfreebies.com has address 207.44.178.100

[root@]# host freemail.absolutelyfreebies.com ns1.digitalborneo.net

freemail.absolutelyfreebies.com has address 216.200.145.35

So, both AbsolutelyFreebies.com and freemail.AbsolutelyFreebies.com resolves correctly from your nameservers. On to step two. Lets see what your MX/mail records say

[root@]# host -t mx absolutelyfreebies.com ns1.digitalborneo.net

absolutelyfreebies.com mail is handled by 1 sitemail.everyone.net.

the "1" in there is the priority. The lower the number, the higher the priority. It looks fine.

So, your DNS records for mail, directing everything to sitemail.everyone.net, also appear correct. Is "sitemail.everyone.net" the correct address to use with them? If it is, there's probably not much you can do to fix the issue.

If it's not working, it's probably due to the records not being finished on their side/the mailserver itself (sitemail.everyone.net). -J

You do realize that everyone.net and ev1.net/rackshack.net are two completely different companies, don't you?

You should go to http://www.everyone.net to get support for their webmail products.
