Troubleshooting
Using Gandi LiveDNS vs external DNS
Using Gandi LiveDNS vs external DNS
These instructions assume you’re using Gandi’s LiveDNS. If your domain uses external nameservers, manage DNS at that provider instead.
MX record hostname requires a trailing dot
MX record hostname requires a trailing dot
Some Gandi configurations require a trailing dot on MX hostnames (e.g.,
mail.example.com.). If verification fails, try adding a dot at the end of the MX value.
