Problem: Using Outlook.com with Own Custom Domain via Windows Live Domains / Can send but not receive – Pending DNS Configuration

29. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
I have an account with Outlook.com

I have my own domain with name.com which is exampledomain.com

I want to be able to send and receive emails from an address *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

I setup all the DNS as per the instructions:
MX c881b0e82d7bd048b89f5291d0dc29.pamx1.hotmail.com
MX c881b0e82d7bd048b89f5291d0dc29.msv1.invalid
TXT v=spf1 include:hotmail.com ~all

However, the status shown in the Windows Live Admin Center is still:
Pending DNS Configuration

I can send emails via outlook from *** Email address is removed for privacy *** to other emails but when I try to send emails from other accounts to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***  I get the following error message:

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

 

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

 

Technical details of permanent failure:

Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain exampledomain.com by exampledomain.com com.mail.eo.outlook.com. [216.32.180.190].

 

The error that the other server returned was:

550 5.4.1 Relay Access Denied


Can anyone help with this?

Thank you.
