- Here are the steps to move from our mail services to your
mail services:
Make sure your domain name registrar --- Network Solutions in
your case -- has our name servers listed (yours does not):
NS1.DNI-NAMESERVERS.COM 209.173.130.13
NS1.DNI-NAMESERVERS.COM 209.173.130.14
Please make sure our name servers are the only ones listed.
- Log into your control panel at
https://cp.dynamicnet.net:8443/
- Click on WWW Domains in the Quick Access menu area
Click on the "ON" button next to "Mail Service"; follow the
prompts.
IMPORTANT
- This will turn off mail services on our end.
- Any mail left in any POP3 email box will be lost.
CRITICAL NOTE: If you want to use our mail services for
outgoing email for web-based forms, you can leave mail service
on, but you should go to the E-Mail Manager section and delete
the email address from our server leaving just postmaster and
possibly webmaster.
- Click on the "edit" button next to "DNS Configuration"
- Click on "Add DNS MX Record"
Leave the "Name" field blank
Put in your mail server preference (a number) in the "Data"
field.
Put in "mail.[your domain name without any www]" in the field
next to the data field (no quotes or brakets)
Click on Submit.
- Click on "Add DNS A Record"
Enter "mail" (no quotes) in the "Name" field.
Change number in TTL field to 3600
Enter the IP address of your mail server in the "Data" field.
Click on Submit.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- When you run your own mail server:
While you can change the IP address of your Mail server at any
time, please be sure to notify us of the IP address so we can
keep our records up to date.
Certain areas are automated when you run your own mail server,
and other areas are not.
Always make sure we know the IP address of your Mail server.
- You are responsible for anti-virus scanning of the email.
- You are responsible for any spam prevention and spam
tagging of email.
- You are responsible for ensuring your mail server is set up
according to the various Internet rules and regulations; and to
ensure your mail server IP address is never black listed by a
real time black list due to abuse or failure to comply with the
various Internet regulations on running an Internet mail
server.
- Should your mail server go down, you may lose mail
depending on how long the sending mail server keeps unsent
mail. This is typically one to seven days.
