Hi

I wonder if someone could assist me with this. I'm trying to setup siqueira.eu domain on domains.live.com

I've have changed the MX and TXT records on my registrar accordingly and I can see via whois that those changes have now propagated (please see: http://who.is/dns/siqueira.eu). But on refreshing the status on domains.live.com I still get the pending message.

I can add that this domain has once been setup with live.com (around 2008) and during that time I have created a d***** Email address is removed for privacy *** Microsoft Account which I still use. Soon after that account was created I moved the MX records to Google Apps but kept using the mentioned Microsoft Account (all working except for receiving email - as that has changed to Gmail). I suspect this is posing an issue for me to migrate back to domains.live.com.

If my memory does not fail me, the Admin account I have used in the past (~2008) to setup the custom domain is the same as this one which I'm using to post here: m***** Email address is removed for privacy ***.

Could you please assist me in solving this issue?

Best,

Mario

We are having mail flow from hotmail.com servers to valecohomes.com.au.  The emails look to be failing through to the A record or using old DNS data.

I have no idea if the forum will help but have been referred here as the only avenue for support.

MX records were updated recently and point to valid servers.  Previous MX records had mail.valecohomes.com.au as a backup server but it was never configured to accept email fro the domain which was why it was removed.

A record valecohomes.com.au and mail.valecohomes.com.au:
206.217.137.18

Sending an email from hotmail intermittently fails with the following error:

Reporting-MTA: dns;bay0-omc4-s8.bay0.hotmail.com
Received-From-MTA: dns;BAY177-W38
Arrival-Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:13:51 -0700

550-bay0-omc4-s8.bay0.hotmail.com [65.54.190.210]:30043 is not permitted to
550 relay through this server without authentication.

I can reproduce the error by setting up a telnet session to their web hosting server listed on the A record and trying to send an email to it.  After the RCPT TO command it fails with the exact same message (spacing) which to me shows it is going through to the wrong server:

220-server1.austrodns.net ESMTP Exim 4.80.1 #2 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:28:42 +1000

Since the MX records are correct in the DNS I have no idea how to troubleshoot any further with Hotmail admins.  Unfortunately, being the IT support for the company, it is reflecting badly on us even though it looks to be Hotmail's problem, as far as we can tell.

Hi there,

This is an updated post regarding issues I have been facing from my original post: http://answers.microsoft.com/  ; for which I still do not have a solution.

My issue is:

At first, I was unable to register my domain, due to the "protected word" issue. However, after posting this issue, support was able to unblock this domain.  My domain is www.primainternational.in

After registering the domain in the Windows Live Admin Center, I received the MX and TXT records which I updated with my domain registrar. After updating those records with my registrar, the status of my domain on Windows Live Domain Site maintained "Pending Changes". I left it for a few hours to a few days trying several times, hoping for the DNS changes to propogate through the internet, however the status still showed Pending Changes. Please note that it has been over a two months since this issue. The support personnel on my original post referred me to THIS link, which I steps I have already followed, and could confirm that I had correctly setup my DNS settings. Apparently my issue was then escalated to a support specialist, however I was asked to contact my registrar for properly solving this issue. Not to mention that each time I was asked to remove my existing MX records to replace with the pamx1.... records, I was left without my current emails.

I have also tried setting up a completely new Microsoft account. I removed all other records from my registrar, however the status with the new account is also showing Pending Changes. As stated by other users facing the same issue as me, it seems that "they did NOT unblock our custom domains correctly OR  they don't seem to have a handle on allowing once stuck custom domains to be configured cleanly." Many other users who faced the same protected word issue are unable to prove ownership of the domain with the correct MX records. 

I am confident that my DNS settings are set up correctly. Could someone from support please help of this issue?

Hello, I have set up two domains-
Www.happytailsdogranch.com
Www.sunponyranch.com

I have configured the mx records as per the I'd provided on my domain pages.  Using mx toolbox.com I've confirmed the mx records are published.  This was 20 hours ago yesterday.  Today the refresh button still reports I haven't configured the Dns.

Can you help me understand what I am missing?
