@Darrinjowen 

Something seems off with these records....

1) What is YOUR domain

2) What is the service that you are using for your email and what did they send you as the instructions

@PL281
My domain is djomarketing.com

Using dreamithost
If you are using an existing domain with your new hosting account, you will need to update the nameservers to point to the nameservers listed below.


Nameserver 1: ens1.hosting-cloud.net (103.25.58.140)
Nameserver 2: ens2.hosting-cloud.net (103.25.56.147)
Nameserver 3: ens3.hosting-cloud.net (103.25.56.147)

Please keep in mind that this product is email only.


Don't want to change your nameserver to ours?


Please add/update the following DNS records:

mail.djomarketing.com A RECORD 139.99.189.223
webmail.djomarketing.com A RECORD 139.99.189.223
email2.hosting-cloud.net MX RECORD - PRIORITY 0
ns1.hosting-servers.com.au MX RECORD - PRIORITY 10
ns2.hosting-servers.com.au MX RECORD - PRIORITY 20
"v=spf1 include:hosting-cloud.net -all" TXT RECORD

@Darrinjowen 

Can you post a screen capture from https://dcc.godaddy.com/manage/djomarketing.com/dns 

to here....

The following

A Record

Host = mail 

Points to = 139.99.189.223

TTL = Custom / 600

A Record

Host = webmail 

Points to = 139.99.189.223

TTL = Custom / 600

MX Record

Host = @ 

Points to = email2.hosting-cloud.net 

Priority = 0

TTL = Custom / 600

MX Record

Host = @ 

Points to = ns1.hosting-servers.com.au 

Priority = 10

TTL = Custom / 600

MX Record

Host = @ 

Points to = ns2.hosting-servers.com.au 

Priority = 20

TTL = Custom / 600

TXT Record

Host = @ 

Value       v=spf1 include:hosting-cloud.net -all

TTL = Custom / 600

I've never seen a provider use ns#.domain.com with their MX (Mail servers)  - NS# is usually reserved for their Name Servers / DNS - I check the MX records for hosting-cloud.net and it is what they have - So even though it's unusual it doesn't mean it's wrong
