hi guys when i wan to change my mx entry for my mail.
It appear a error There was a problem changing the mx entry. Show Details
after i press show details:
Error fetching zone data for mydomain.com.db's MX

help pls =x
 
thanks contacted them and the fix it for me but.. i using domain.live as my mail service but the problem is my domain.com show:
our service is Pending DNS configuration. Please make the required DNS changes.

Your service is Pending DNS configuration. Please make the required DNS changes.

Mail service will be disabled if you have MX records pointed to other mail services.

To help ensure that mail sent from your domain is not marked as junk mail, we also recommend that you add a Text Record for your domain with the values listed below.
 
I think they may have for got to set the DNS record correctly when they did the MX record. You should run that message by them and see what they say about it. Here's an exaplnation:

1) We scan every domain's MX records 3 times per day, and sometimes we can't find that matching record at the DNS Host, so you see that error message.
2) When we scan later, if we pick up the MX Record, we automatically "refresh" you settings and remove the domain from the pending state.
3) In order for your domain to be cancelled because of this error, our servers would have to fail to find your MX record 90 times, something that is extremly unlikely to happen, and considering you would probably log in as admin at least once a month you can also refresh manually
4) If your MX record at your registrar is still correct, even if we can't find it, you will still be able to send and receive mail. All this problem affects is our recognition whether the domain is registered properly or not.


This is a problem for your hosting provider and it looks like it happens a lot.
 
yea bluescorpion is rite, i changed the mx records to domains.live successfully wdout any problem, if ur doing tht wd ur cpanel , try putting some other priority then '0' otherwise ur host can easily set up all dns records thru whm.. may be its a bug in ur cpanel :S
 
I abit confuse with it..It is my domain nameserver what name=that mx entry must be at that host?
my host already added the mx entry manually for me. but the domain.live still give me pending state.
 
then i think ur providing them rong mx entry what details i got were:
* DNS Record Type: MX
* Host: mydomain.com
* (you've to point ur mx entry to this domain NOT domains.live.com)
MX server: 820655519.pamx1.hotmail.com
* TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
* Priority: 0 (or High priority)

P.S. Your MX server might not be the same as mine..
