Problem Adding Domain to Windows Live for Mail Hosting

05. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,
I am trying to set up a business email on Windows Live, it has instructed me to add the following MX record:

  • DNS record type: MX
  • Host: healthyprice.ca
  • MX server: 4e557f70e1e765419c5a3a67b27491.pamx1.hotmail.com
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
  • Priority: 10 (or High priority)


I've done this and can see it is being served by DNS:

$ dig healthlyprice.ca MX @dns1.stabletransit.com

; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> healthlyprice.ca MX @dns1.stabletransit.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

But when I click refresh it still doesn't let me continue the set up.  It just keeps saying "You need to prove ownership of this domain by creating a DNS record. Use the settings below."

I can't see what I have done wrong.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, I have been getting the following message for over a week now...

Your service is Suspended. Please make the required DNS changes.
     You can Cancel service or Edit mail settings

  • DNS record type: MX
  • Host: galones.com.ve
  • MX server: 6760e66ccb35eb45ba8f0a02a6dca6.pamx1.hotmail.com
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
  • Priority: 10 (or High priority)

I have checked my DNS personally & had my domain host check it too (more than 1 week ago already). However I'm still getting the above message and am not receiving any email (can still send).

Need to get this fixed quick, please help,

Hi.

I'm trying to set up Outlook to act as mail server for my domain. The issue I'm having is with the MX record settings. The settings I'm asked to put in won't work with my registar.

They are asking me to use 

  • DNS record type: MX
  • Host: mydomain.com
  • MX server: c869f59ea7f2e8459f3dacee39b0ad.pamx1.hotmail.com
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
  • Priority: 10 (or High priority)

The issue I have is that my registar won't let me set the TTL as 3600 it says it has to be 14400 and when I try to set the host to my domain it reverts to @.

So I can't configure the settings in outlook.




You need to prove ownership of this domain by creating a DNS record. Use the settings below.

Hi there!

I have a domain www.mgippl.com. I need to configure outlook for this. I got the following details to modify in my MX Record :-

  • DNS record type: MX
  • Host: mgippl.com
  • MX server: 627d58eabf5bb048936cfde871037a.pamx1.hotmail.com
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
  • Priority: 10 (or High priority)


and  i remove all my old mx records and create a new record as per the above detail, but TTl for my mx record is 7200 because my domain panel do not allow me to set it less than 7200. so the changes i made in my MX record as under :-


Name mgippl.com

Class IN

Type MX

Priority 20

Status Active

Value 627d58eabf5bb048936cfde871037a.pamx1.hotmail.com

TTL 7200


Creation Date 2013-10-29 21:41:01.006678


After making changes, while i am trying to refresh my outlook, it again ask me to Refresh, means it still shows me that the status is "Pending DNS configuration." Please help me to set outlook for my domain. www.mgippl.com


Thanks and Regards

Hi,

I'm unable to verify my domain although I already add MX record in my DNS.

Mail setup (required)
To set up mail and prove ownership of this domain, you must create an MX record through your domain registrar. Use the following settings:
DNS record type: MX
Host: ferrytobatam.com
MX server: 3c0f7de5d16f8243abcb4d85114aea.pamx1.hotmail.com
TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
Priority: 10 (or High priority)


Tried to do MX Lookup and got below result :-
TargetIPPreference valueTTL
3c0f7de5d16f8243abcb4d85114aea.pamx1.hotmail.com65.54.188.10904 hours
ferrytobatam.com103.6.196.153104 hours

But still I'm unable to verify my domain.

Anyone know how to fix ?


Thanks

Live Domains – Pending DNS configuration

Hi,

I added my domain jiribrejcha.net to Live Domains. I use it with Outlook.com. Everything works fine and emails are working.


But after 3 days this error message still persists:


You need to prove ownership of this domain by creating a DNS record. Use the settings below.
You can Cancel service or Edit mail settings 


I have tried different browsers and cleaning the cache but neither worked for me.


From DNS perspective everything seems to be fine:

My instructions:


Mail setup (required)

To set up mail and prove ownership of this domain, you must create an MX record through your domain registrar. Use the following settings:
  • DNS record type: MX
  • Host: jiribrejcha.net
  • MX server: 86e25c0a03bf42b6b27d5eb28d45b4.pamx1.hotmail.com
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
  • Priority: 10 (or High priority)

Prove domain ownership (optional)

If you would like to prove the ownership of domain and create users without setting up mail, you can use one of the following methods for up to 30 days. After 30 days, you will need to set up an MX record for mail routing as shown above.
If your domain registrar allows you to create TXT records, use these settings:
  • DNS record type: TXT
  • Host: jiribrejcha.net
  • Value: v=msv1 t=86e25c0a03bf42b6b27d5eb28d45b4
If your domain registrar allows you to create MX records, use these settings:
  • DNS record type: MX
  • Host: jiribrejcha.net
  • Value: 86e25c0a03bf42b6b27d5eb28d45b4.msv1.invalid
  • Priority: Higher value than existing records, or Low priority.

Server trust (recommended)

Create a TXT record to allow other mail servers to trust email originating from your domain. Also known as sender ID configuration, this setting will help prevent your mail from being marked as junk mail. Use the following settings:
  • DNS record type: TXT
  • Host: jiribrejcha.net
  • Value: v=spf1 include:hotmail.com ~all
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour (if requested)
