I am trying to create the account, americanreport.org. I have added in the Mail setup, the Prove domain ownership information, the server trust information and they Messenger configuration. and each time I try, the information is not recognized. I get no errors or any reasons when not. 

I manage several domains, all of which work perfectly except the americanreport.org.  I have tried and retried, removing it from the console and adding it again with different setup information, but each time it fails. The registrar has verified that the information is correct, as well as several other technical experts on my staff. 

Any help on this matter would be much appreciated as I am completely dumbfounded by this. I have several other domains setup in the exact same way and they work...Help

Thank you,

Hi there..

 

I created a custom email ID in windows live admin center [domains.live.com].

 

Everything was configured (as per the instructions) and as a result I could successfully verify my domain ownership as well as mail setup.

 

Right now my account now says "Your service is Active." and there are no errors or pending status.

 

But when I send a test mail from a different personal account(s) to this account, the mails are failing.

 

Wondering what the issue is? Anything I missed or need to configure?

 

Appreciate your help in this regard.

 

Right now I configured the following:

 

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: stareventsbza.com
    MX server: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .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: stareventsbza.com
    Value: v=xxx t=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

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: stareventsbza.com
    Value: v=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    TTL: 3600 or 1 hour (if requested)

 

CNAME:

mail.stareventsbza.com set to go.domains.live.com

 

Update:

When I see the details of the account I created.. It says... as under. Wondering why the Inbox active is saying NO and is this something we need to change? Where?

 

Mail status: Enabled

Inbox active: No

 

I can't able to do mail setup for my domain name, main problem is i cannot able to set TTL value as 3600 but my domain accept for 14400 only how to fix this problem?
