DNS Record - Connecting MailChimp to Domain

Recommended Posts

Posted

Site URL: https://extremecommunitymakeover.org

I am working on connecting my custom domain to MailChimp. I have been given the CNAME & A Record information. However, when I go to add these to my squarespace DNS settings. 

However, keep getting Error message: DNS Record Conflict. I have gone through trying to identify the conflicts, looking for similar types of records or records with data that might conflict. I don't see it. 

Mailchimp instructions states the following for CNAME & A Records:

  • Copy the following value into the CNAME record named www for extremecommunitymakeover.org. If this record does not exist in your DNS settings, create it.  Do I replace the current CNAME on with the one they provide? 
  • Copy the following IP address into the A record for extremecommunitymakeover.org. If there is already an IP address in an existing A record, replace it with the one we provide. I have four A record IP addresses - do I remove the all and add the new record? 

Screenshots of the DNS Records are attached. 

Really looking forward to some help and advice. TIA

Hi theRooRoo,

The hostname is wrong. You should only use

k2._domainkey

instead of k2._domainkey.extremecomunitymakeover.org

the same for k3.....

www should be left as it is in the picture you posted. I assume here you want to connect mailchimp for what they call "Email Domains".

I hope it helps!
