Google Apps Mail MX Records

Yesterday, 08:26 AM Quick question guys,

I am moving website's mail services to google apps from smartermail after moving the site from shared hosting to database mart's basic VPS hosting which I cannot rate highly enough. I have changed the nameservers on my domain registrar's control panel to point to my new server and the website is working fine. However, do I need to change the MX records on my domain registrar site or on the new server control panel dns portal?

Thanks in advance!

Yesterday, 08:33 AM Hello jtmk,

In your case that should be done in your new hosting providers control panel, since you pointed your name servers at it.

Yesterday, 08:38 AM You can change records at once of several places.
It really depends on how DNS is setup at each point along the path.

I generally do it at the host side.

Yesterday, 08:40 AM yes,you have to change MX record in new provider ,it might take max 24 hours to be active..

Google MX [1], aspmx.l.google.com
Google MX [5], alt1.aspmx.l.google.com
Google MX [5], alt2.aspmx.l.google.com
Google MX [10], aspmx2.googlemail.com
Google MX [10], aspmx3.googlemail.com

I couldn't find any information on changing the following A record:

mail A *************

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

you need to change CNAME record ,not A
mail ghs.google.com

this will open google apps mail with mail.yourdomain.com

+ Update this A record in your google Apps (if you changed the mail link )
