Don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but my domain is sakkana.com.bo and the registrar does not provide access to change MX Records. How can I prove ownership of my domain?
Changed MX record at GoDaddy according to MS instructions.  Email works, but sent messages are marked as sent from a Hotmail account, on behalf of my email address, and I get the above error message.  Reset the MX record at GoDaddy (although the existing record appeared to be OK).  Same result.  I've noticed that someone from MS has investigated this problem on some accounts and made adjustments.  I'm hoping for the same.  The email address in question is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.

Problem: The message has been displayed for over a day (more than a few minutes as the message says) even though my MX records are valid.

Please take notice
My domain name is www.goldwellinternational.com
The nature of my website is to provide web development/marketing services.

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. 

Link to previous problem which got resolved: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/admin-signin/this-domain-name-cant-be-used-because-it-contains/f9666d3b-37da-4273-81b8-f71cf836d863
I had setup a new custom domain on Outlook.com (greenscapeservice.com) and tried using the alternate/other methods of proving ownership (with the invalid MX record and the TXT record) but neither worked.  I removed ALL mx records but the domain still wouldn't validate.  The only option is to use the live MX record from hotmail.com.

Is there no way to get the alternate methods to work at all?  We would like to use an alternate spam filtering service but can't since the verification will only allow the one MX record that has to be hotmail's.
Hi
I can't add a new alias because I can't collect email sent to that email address and I can't collect that mail because I have added the mx record to verify the domain ownership.
History is:
I created a Microsoft account and added the primary user with the address *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
I added the mx records to verify the domain ownership and mail is coming through to Outlook.com for the mailbox *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
I want to add *** Email address is removed for privacy *** but the verification is sent to that mailbox and isn't collectible because the mx record points to Outlook.com and Outlook.com rejects it as there isn't a mailbox of that name....... round and round we go!
So, as I have verified that I own the domain, why does it want a second verification and what is the way around this please anyone?

Like many others I am having a problem with my Admin Center not verifying my domain (UnluckyOne.com). I have already added one domain (Nyleen.com) with no problems, did nothing different with this one and it still doesn't work. Having read all of the forums I have seen how horrible Microsoft support has been; Please actually help me.

I HAVE read the MX Record Error Document posted on other forum responses.
I HAVE clicked the refresh button (for weeks):
It may take a few minutes to complete the changes to your service. Please check back later.

You can Cancel service or Edit mail settings

I HAVE deleted my Domain and restarted the process (3x).
I HAVE contacted GoDaddy and verified everything is working correctly.
I HAVE checked with WhatsMyDNS.com to verify the MX Record and text record.
I HAVE even deleted the mail option and tried to verify with just the TXT record and that didn't work either.

My setting are as follows:

DOMAIN: UnluckyOne.com

   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: unluckyone.com
  • MX server: 2c20bb4d6fd71d4ab1aab291e849fb.pamx1.hotmail.com
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
  • Priority: 10 (or High priority)
Hello --

I have a NameCheap webhost, and I cannot verify my domain name for the life of me.  I am setting the MX record (the only one, in fact) of my domain to:

HOST NAME      MAILSERVER HOST NAME                     MAIL TYPE     MX PREF    TTL
@                     b7c715bbaa6d2348b1205e8d472251      MX               10              1800

But domains.live.com keeps giving me this error:

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

I've made this change over 72 hours ago, have deleted and readded the domain several times.  I hit the refresh button and I keep getting this error back.  I don't know what to do next... any help you can provide would be great.

Thank you!
Hello,

My Domain and Hosting(weconsulta.com) is with GoDaddy.com.

They have provided very few email ids to use. But as my small firm grows, I need more email ids for my office. For that i need to use OUTLOOK.COM as my email server.

I have updated the MX record in the DNS manager section of GODADDY, but live.com / outlook.com always shows it as "Pending DNS configuration".



I have attached the Screenshot of that outlook.com page with this mail. I have also spoken with godaddy execuite regarding this issue. They informed me that they have updated the MX record in thier entry and it can checked at "mxtoolbox.com" and "network-tools.com". I have also checked and found that it has been updated by the GoDaddy Team. I have attached the screenshot of the result of verification from "mxtoolbox.com" and "network-tools.com".




I am fedup with this issue.

Kindly guide me to resolve it.
