Hello Folks,

I'm trying to make use of the convenient email forwarding that Dynadot provides while trying to setup custom MX and TXT records. The GUI doesn't seem to allow me to do this. Any Help?

Best Regards

We're seeing this error when trying to set up email forwarding after having Custom DNS switched on:

There is 1 error
Cannot set email forwarding settings. Email Settings cannot be used with Custom DNS.

Hello, I have added a custom DNS record like in the print screen using * for Alias, tested, and I can confirm it works.
Thanks a lot!

Hi, looks like this domain is using third-part name severs, in this case, Dynadot DNS won't work.
If you want to change back to Dynadot DNS, you may want to set up the email forwarding at the upper main section. The screenshot is showing the catchall email forwarding is set up at the subdomain section.

How do I set up email forwarding?
