Changing MX record at Sedo?

[dag]

I've got a domain regged at GoDaddy and parked at Sedo that I want to use the e-mail account for. Turns out, however, that since I've got it pointed at DNS servers other than GoDaddy's, I have to edit the MX records at the current server (i.e., Sedo) to get my e-mail to work.

Is that even possible at Sedo? I can't find anywhere in my account management settings to make that change...

Your help would be most appreciated... :wave:

As far as I know Sedo does not offer email (pop/imap) accounts.
As such you should point your MX records to your hosting provider
to have email.

Thanks -- I didn't think Sedo offered e-mail, since it's only being parked there. However, GoDaddy says that if you direct your domain to a different nameserver and want to continue to use the GoDaddy e-mail associated with the domain, you have to point the MX records located at that destination server (in this case, Sedo's) back to GoDaddy's e-mail (smtp.secureserver.net, I believe).

I'm not sure this is possible at Sedo, however...unless someone knows of a way to do this.

Anyone?

I don't think its possible.
just a side note: smtp.***.tld is for sending email.
pop. and imap. is for receiving

I would have to change both -- including the smtp -- otherwise I wouldn't be able to send or receive.

I have a feeling I'm going to just have to not park them if I want to use the e-mail. Oh well...

The solution is to use your hosting DNS servers, and to setup web redirection to sedoparking.com/your_domain.

This way the email will come on your server and the web traffic will be redirected to Sedo.

Aha...that sounds like it would work! (Sounds like you already know that it does...)

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I hope I know, because this kind of setup is part of my job

Constantin is correct, just redirect as he says
You need to host the DNS yourself, I believe DNS management is free at GD
