Proving domain ownership

23. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

Hi,

I am using the window live admin center and trying to prove my domain ownership.

I did created a DNS record but still I see the yellow notification which it says : You need to prove ownership of this domain by creating a DNS record. Use the settings below.

I contacted the technical support of my domain registrar and they say I have done the MX record as it should be.

I also used this answer you provided : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/oadmincenter-ocustomdom/handling-issues-with-mx-record-or-pending-dns/b722ed21-b20e-40e2-8dbb-26fa12003c32

and still not working.

Please help me fix this and thanks in advance,

David

Outlook.com for Domain – Pending DNS configuration

Hi,

I'm unable to verify my domain although I already add MX record in my DNS.

Mail setup (required)
To set up mail and prove ownership of this domain, you must create an MX record through your domain registrar. Use the following settings:
DNS record type: MX
Host: ferrytobatam.com
MX server: 3c0f7de5d16f8243abcb4d85114aea.pamx1.hotmail.com
TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
Priority: 10 (or High priority)


Tried to do MX Lookup and got below result :-
TargetIPPreference valueTTL
3c0f7de5d16f8243abcb4d85114aea.pamx1.hotmail.com65.54.188.10904 hours
ferrytobatam.com103.6.196.153104 hours

But still I'm unable to verify my domain.

Anyone know how to fix ?


Thanks

Can send but unable to receive emails on one custom domain email address

15. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,


I configured a custom domain www.sinclairelec.com.au at Windows Domain Admin Centre at http://domains.live.com. I followed the instructions to create appropriate records at my Domain Registrar to point my domain name to Windows Live. This worked OK including the MX record, Proving Domain ownership by a TXT record and Server Trust using a TXT record. The status of my domain within the control panel is shown as active.

I have created two email addresses - one send and receives fine, the other can send mail but cannot receive mail, either from outlook.com, MS Outlook, Mac Mail - anything.

Some information:
* Email account that currently cannot receive mail (but can send) was working up until this morning (Australian time).
* No domains.live or DNS settings have been altered since original setup.

Can you please help me resolve this issue?
Please let me know if you need further information.

Live Domains – Pending DNS configuration

05. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

Hi,

I added my domain jiribrejcha.net to Live Domains. I use it with Outlook.com. Everything works fine and emails are working.


But after 3 days this error message still persists:


You need to prove ownership of this domain by creating a DNS record. Use the settings below.
You can Cancel service or Edit mail settings 


I have tried different browsers and cleaning the cache but neither worked for me.


From DNS perspective everything seems to be fine:

http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=mx%3ajiribrejcha.net&run=toolpage


My instructions:


Mail setup (required)

To set up mail and prove ownership of this domain, you must create an MX record through your domain registrar. Use the following settings:
  • DNS record type: MX
  • Host: jiribrejcha.net
  • MX server: 86e25c0a03bf42b6b27d5eb28d45b4.pamx1.hotmail.com
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
  • Priority: 10 (or High priority)

Prove domain ownership (optional)

If you would like to prove the ownership of domain and create users without setting up mail, you can use one of the following methods for up to 30 days. After 30 days, you will need to set up an MX record for mail routing as shown above.
If your domain registrar allows you to create TXT records, use these settings:
  • DNS record type: TXT
  • Host: jiribrejcha.net
  • Value: v=msv1 t=86e25c0a03bf42b6b27d5eb28d45b4
If your domain registrar allows you to create MX records, use these settings:
  • DNS record type: MX
  • Host: jiribrejcha.net
  • Value: 86e25c0a03bf42b6b27d5eb28d45b4.msv1.invalid
  • Priority: Higher value than existing records, or Low priority.

Server trust (recommended)

Create a TXT record to allow other mail servers to trust email originating from your domain. Also known as sender ID configuration, this setting will help prevent your mail from being marked as junk mail. Use the following settings:
  • DNS record type: TXT
  • Host: jiribrejcha.net
  • Value: v=spf1 include:hotmail.com ~all
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour (if requested)


(valid mx records) It may take a few minutes to complete the changes to your service. Please check back later.

! I previously had troubles with the registration, because my domain was caught in an overzealous blacklisting functionality. I posted a question to this forum and got it sorted, so I could register with the domain.

You need to prove ownership of this domain by creating a DNS record. Every setting is perfect with my domain registrar.

Hi Support team,

I face this common issue. You need to prove ownership of this domain by creating a DNS record. Use the settings below.

All the settings in the domain registrar are perfect. I triple checked them. But still domain approvals are not happening from Outlook side.

Kindly find the details as below:

  • DNS record type: MX
  • Host: babyflocks.com
  • MX server: as given by outlook.com
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
  • Priority: 10 (or High priority)
I have set the MX record exactly as given.

I m on deadlines. So please solve this issue as early as possible. 
or let me know if anything has to be done form my side.

One possible cause can be, I have created two accounts in outlook.com for registering into domain.live.com for this domain.
So there might be conflicts happening as there are chances of two admin accounts created for this.

Kindly respond as soon as possible.
