Hostgator email can't send to hosted domain

這是個奇怪的症狀, 在 Hostgator 上, 我自己有個發信的 Module, 可以發信給任何 Domain, 唯獨自己 Hosted 的 Domain 不行.

幾經測試, 就是不 work, 最後聯絡 Hostgator Tech Support, 才得到解決.

狀況是這樣的, 當我們在 Hostgator 上 Add Domain 時, 系統會 Default 把 Hosted Domain 加到 Mail Server 中. 即使我們不使用 Hostgator 的 Mail  Server, 但是當我們的發信 module send 給 hosted domain 的 account 時, 就會自己跑到 Local Server 上, 永遠也發布出去.

解決辦法, 就是 Contact Hostgator, 請他們把 domain name 從 Local Mail Server 中移除, 不然永遠沒轍.

How to Forward Your Network Solutions Domain Name to a Free Blog Service

原文件網址: Click here

In order to point your domain name to a free blog service, like Blogger.com or Wordpress.org, you will need to make modifications to your domains Advanced DNS records.

Be sure you have read the instructions provided by your free blogging service. For example, Blogger.com will ask you to utilize a name server called "ghs.google.com".

Network Solutions has always allowed domains to be pointed to IP addresses (A Records) or Host Aliases (CNAME records).  This feature is enhanced by redirecting the "@ none" A Record to the "www" CNAME.    Simply put, we are pointing yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com. 

Here's how.

1. Within Account Manager, select My Domain Names
2. Select the domain name that you want to manage
3. In the green box, select Change Where Domain Points
4. Select Advanced DNS, then Continue
5. First, edit the A Records by selecting Edit A Records.  For the "@ none" enter the following IP address 205.178.189.129, clear the records for the "www" and "* (All others)", then select Continue 
6. Second, edit the Host Aliases (CNAME records) by selecting Edit CNAME Records.  Enter "www" in the Alias column.  Leave TTL set to 7200 but on the same line, enter the name servers provided by the blogging service in the Other Host section (for blogger.com, this name server would be ghs.google.com)
