Not able to create MX records

[Raja Malik]

Hello All,

I use mailgun.com as a thirdparty to send mails. When configuring cloud DNS for verification of my domian. I tried to create MX records which were not getting created. Can you please tell me why I am getting "Invalid record data."

Try enclosing the entire value of the TXT record in double quotes. Something like:

 "v=spf1 include:mailgun.org ~all"

also see attached screenshot.

Thanks Ben. Your advice worked. But...
This post was about MX record not TXT record...

Do you have any suggestion for MX records?
When ever I save MX records, it gives me "Invalid Record Data error".

Please help.

Here is how it will work.

In google cloud > Networking > Cloud DNS

Create MX Record

In value, type the value in the format:

<priority> <domain>

like:

10 mxa.mailgun.org

For adding another one, just add one more item and enter the value again

Save the record and wait for the changes to propogate. It should work.

I checked your zone and I see that you have successfully created two MX records. Let me know if it is working for you.

I see that in another project, you have another copy of the zone. You may want to delete that one to reduce the potential for confusion, or just take care (as you already have) to update the correct one that is actually delegated from the registrar.

Thanks for the confirmation. Which other project you are talking about? I only have one project.
