Once you have purchased the Email Hosting Service from Domain-S-Mart, you need to take the following steps to start using it.
To change the Name Servers of your domain name
Login to your Control Panel. See details
Search for the domain name for which you have purchased the Service and proceed to the Order Details view. See details
Click the Name Server Details link.
- Here, you would find the list of Name Servers you need to set for your domain name. Alternatively, if you wish to retain the Name Servers of your domain name instead of using our Name Servers, you would need to add all the Resource Records listed on this page on your Name Servers.
AttentionIf you do not use Domain-S-Mart's Name Servers or do not modify your domain name's MX Records to point to our servers, then you would not be able to receive email on your domain name. If someone tries to send an email to an email account on your domain name immediately after you have either modified your domain name's Name Servers or pointed your domain name's MX Records to ours, that person would encounter the following error message:
Error: Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6)
Also, no emails are delivered to that email account.
This issue will get resolved automatically half an hour after either your domain name's Name Servers have been modified or your domain name's MX Records has been pointed to ours.
NoteIf you wish to deploy third party anti-spam service for your email accounts, you are required to specify the email servers as:-
where, orderid = Order Id of your Email Hosting Order (displayed under the Order Details view of your Email Hosting Order, within the Order Information section) See details
These values need to be specified through the anti-spam service management interface.
