Site verification

Google require a site verification to use Google apps. I usually prefer to use the DNS option. Simply adding something like the below should suffice. A TXT value will be supplied by Google during the set up.

Host TXT TTL @ google-site-verification=KEY 1 hour

iMail Setup

This should be very similar to the above in terms of what information needs adding.

DNS SETTINGS

  1. To make sure that mail is delivered into the Google Apps system the correct DNS settings need to applied to the domain name.

    Add the following DNS records to the domain

    Priority Mail server 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM

MOVING DNS

  1. Moving from GOL requires the following

    Return the DNS hosts back to Easily. There is a button within the Easily account next to the domain to return the domain to the Easily nameservers

    Add the Google Mail DNS settings to the domain

    Add the necessary site records to the DNS usually: footyjapan.com *.footyjapan.com

    Point these to the correct DNS

CHECK MX RECORDS

  1. Use the following site to check the domain names:

    http://www.mxtoolbox.com/

  2. Current records are:

    10 cfx01.new-core.com 202.191.118.31 24 hrs SMTP Test Blacklist Check 20 cfx02.new-core.com 202.191.118.32 24 hrs SMTP Test Blacklist Check 30 ms001s.new-core.com 202.191.119.36 24 hrs SMTP Test Blacklist Check

TIMELINES and OPTIONS

  1. First option is to ask GOL to put in the Google Apps DNS this will mean we do not need to wait for the name servers to be changed back to Easily.

  2. Changing DNS back to Easily - this can take up to 24 hrs. As soon as they are back with Easily we can put in the correct DNS There may be some mail loss if the server looks at Easily for records before they have been created Usually though the mail server should keep the mail for 48 hrs before trying to send again.

Basically if I do the DNS ASAP then mail will be delivered to the Google System and mail can be read and sent via GMail - setting up Outlook or Imail can be done afterwards.
