I have sent Dan all I needed to for my domains to be included-I am yet to see anything come through. Please I will like to have refunds on the last two domains I bought so I can re-register them with hosting companies with a clearer way of having my domains registered under adsense. Thanks

The important thing to keep in mind is that the CNAME that you create needs to be added to the subdomain “www” as per the instructions. The A Records are added to just “domain.com”

The screenshots in the post show the steps.

Dan,

Could you please send me the same email you sent to BG? My domains are doing the same thing. After a CNAME is added and I add an A record the CNAME is gone and the A record is in place. I can’t get them both in at the same time and stay.

All additional help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who pointed out the slight errors in the post above. I’ve corrected the instructions for the individual email clients.

It started working again so that’s great. Pretty fast.

Are these instructions contradictory or is it just me?

“•Please ensure that you choose the option, “Log on using:” and then supply your Netfirms email address and password”…

..then further down…

“7…“Use same settings as my incoming mail server is selected””

Doesn’t matter since neither works for me anyway. I’m using gmail for outbound until they fix it.

Hi,

I want to point out what I consider is a naive error. Within the body at incise 3) you say:

* Therre are two choices for authentication: Log on using same settings as incoming mail server or Log on using:
* Please ensure that you choose the option, “Log on using:” and then supply your Netfirms email address and password

Ok, but what was my surprise that when showing the different configuration options for the many email clients you give a different instruction. For instance when configuring the Outlook 2003 at incise 7) you say:

7) Verify that “SMTP server requires authentication” is checked and “Use same settings as my incoming mail server is selected”

This must be a confusion, please check it out and correct it.

regards,
