Issue with MX records for Gmail

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am new here after having been a Google Domains (sunsetting soon) user for many years. I am having an issue setting up MX records for an alias for an existing Gmail account. I have set up my MX records as follows:

 

@

MX

20

alt2.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com

@

MX

1

smtp.google.com

@

MX

40

alt4.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com

@

MX

5

gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com

@

MX

10

alt1.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com

@

MX

30

alt3.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com


This is basically a copy/paste from my existing setup in an existing domain that I created successfully. I get to the point of verifying the email address and get the following error: "550 5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or unnecessary spaces."

To be clear, I am not attempting to set up Google Workspace. I am not interested in paying for that service.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
