Changing MX Records for Fastmail / Speedpost
Hi there,
I'm trying to configure my email so it's handled fully by FastMail / Speedpost. I just want email for my domain to come to come to Fastmail, and handle DNS for my domain with my external DNS provider, FreeParking. I've changed the MX records for my domain to... in1.smtp.messagingengine.com in2.smtp.messagingengine.com ...but even after a day has passed i get the following bounceback... This is the mail system at host gateway1.messagingengine.com. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. <me@123abc.com>: host mailgate.freeparking.com[72.1.201.197] said: 550 "ERR201: Relaying Denied." (in reply to RCPT TO command) Reporting-MTA: dns; gateway1.messagingengine.com X-Postfix-Queue-ID: 6135D107B92 X-Postfix-Sender: rfc822; rob@123abc.com Arrival-Date: Fri, 25 Jun 2010 03:00:11 -0400 (EDT) Final-Recipient: rfc822; me@123abc.com Original-Recipient: rfc822;me@123abc.com Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Remote-MTA: dns; mailgate.freeparking.com Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 "ERR201: Relaying Denied." This is how my DNS settings look, have i got it wrong? http://neonstate.com/dns.gif Any help much appreciated! Rob. |

Hi Rob,
Not sure if you already saw the FM Setup page but if you look down in the section for "Email only" it has two Notes that say the following. Quote:

Hi Sherry,
Thanks for the response. If i try and put the . at the end the DNS manager just strips it back off, so i assume it doesn't need that. So still have the same problem Rob. |

Setting up your own domain with Fastmail
Sorry for this delayed response -- I just noticed your post, Rob. I have been a Fastmail Enhanced user for many years, and am very familiar with using your own domain. I hope you realize that only Enhanced level accounts (or the equivalent Family or Business accounts) can be used for your own domain. To check this out:
See this Fastmail help page for more setup details. Bill |

webmail
I am an enhanced used and am trying to redirect my business emails to my fastmail account. I have my website domain registered with my website host. Do I have to ask them for my domain registration? is it a number, its not my website address?I see on the help that i also need to input an ip address, is this also something that my website hosts provide?
Thanks for any help [Moderator:] URL removed as per the forum rules. Last edited by Sherry : 6 Jul 2010 at 02:15 AM. |

Setting up your own domain email at Fastmail
Welcome to the EMD Forums, kathgriffiths!
If you want to use your own domain name with Fastmail, you need to understand a few basic things about how the website and mail for your domain is controlled.
On the Options>Virtual Domains screen, you can use * (wildcard) at the top Virtual Aliases section to cause any local-part (portion of the email address before the @) at your domain to be received at your Fastmail account. So if your domain was kkkggg.com, you could create a Virtual Alias for * @ kkkggg.com targeting your Fastmail address. In this case, any email address at your domain will be sent to your main Fastmail account and appear in your normal Inbox. If you don't want to receive main at any address in your domain (due to spam at some addresses, for example), just disable the * wildcard and enter the specific email addresses you wish on the Virtual Domains screen. You can also target addresses so that messages are delivered directly to certain folders (using +plus addressing) or to external email accounts (using a comma between the accounts). For example, you could set sales @ kkkggg.com to target you+sales @ fastmail.fm, you @ gmail.com Be sure to post back here if you have questions. This seems confusing initially, but after it's set up it will be easy. Bill |
