Im going to use google as a mailing system for my site. I read how to use them for different hosts, but everyone is different. Could someone tell me how to set it up for google? Thx!

When am I going to get help? I keep getting errors and it isn't working.

I may be able to help, but I am not sure what you are asking. Could you clarify, please? What do you mean by using Google for your mail system?

Check it out there. You can use Gmail for your mailing system. Right now my host sucks and their mailing system isn't working, so I need to use this.

Sorry, don't know how to set up Google email. But it looks like some of our other customers have provided some help already.

Anyone think they can help me? Please.

I was not aware Google offered this service. I may try it myself.

I have not been able to try this out myself, but I from what I understand, here is how it is done:

(assuming you use Dynadot for your DNS)

Log in to Dynadot, select your domain, and click on Select Domain Servers. Under Dynadot DNS, you will see Email Servers / MX Records. Set these to the following:

aspmx.l.google.com        0
alt1.aspmx.l.google.com   1
alt2.aspmx.l.google.com   1

Hope this helps!

Got it fixed thanks!

The problem was the Distance numbers were incorrect. Most hosts use the 1, 5, 5, 10 and so on. I tried the 0, 1, 1 and it worked. The only problem after that was the first one needed an IP. I looked it up and found it. Everything is now setup. I now have to see if configures properly.

I am using hostgator, I am looking for the correct distance setting as well. Anyone know? Hosgator support was of no help when it came to this setting.
