Mx record not fetching mail

1

I setup an MX record at mail.messagemate.co.za pointing to my mail box at box.opamp.co.za which works correctly if I use
dig @8.8.8.8 mail.messagemate.co.za MX +short
However it does not fetch the mail at messagemate.co.za
What am I doing wrong?

From your message I assume that you want your Mail-in-a-Box to handle email for the messagemate.co.za domain, while your box lives under box.opamp.co.za
For this to work you need to have control of the messagemate.co.za domain. Mail-in-a-Box can take care of all the DNS entries, you don’t need to enter any yourself.

  1. Remove the MX record (Mail-in-a-Box will create one if necessary under step 3)
  2. Set the nameserver of the message.co.za domain to box.opamp.co.za
  3. Add an alias or user using the messagemate.co.za domain. e.g. mail@messagemate.co.za This can be found under the Mail & Users menu of the admin panel
  4. Done
