    I'm setting up Google Apps to manage my website's email address (i.e. trying to create email addresses). Google Apps gives these instructions:

    Since my domain names are hosted at Godaddy but pointed to a server, I'm assuming I have to get this done on my server. I'm being hosted on my friend's server (it's dedicated), so all of this has to be done through cPanel. I went into "Mail," and "Modify Mail Exchanger (MX Entry). However, the only option in there is this:

    "Change MX for (choose a domain name) to ______". WTF?!?! Where is the list of priority values, mail servers, and TTL values? I've never seen this before....does anyone know if this is the right area where MX records are changed - if so, how do you do it?!

    [​IMG]
    just copy the host names from that table in google apps and paste it in your mx and remove the ending dot, if you wish, I can easily do it for you. :)

    Thanks :)

    I actually found another link hidden away in the sidebar panel for MX. It was just labeled something else. I had a feeling I was looking in the wrong place!
