Following Mailgun documentation, I configured my MX records using my default domain (sampledomain.io), while TXT and CNAME records verified correctly. How should the hostname be properly set for MX verification?
try using Mailgun provided mx hostnames like mxa.mailgun.org not your possedomain. u wanna use the one they list in your region docs, that way verification passes.
I encountered a similar issue while setting up my Mailgun configuration a few months ago. I initially tried using my domain instead of the specified entry, and it caused verification errors. I found that it is crucial to follow the guidelines provided in the regional documentation, which clearly define the correct hostname to be used for the MX records. In addition, after making the change, I had to wait for the DNS propagation to complete before the verification was successful. Taking the extra time to ensure that every step is done according to the instructions made all the difference.
In my experience, strictly following Mailgun’s documentation for MX records is crucial to avoid verification issues. I learned that settings such as using Mailgun’s provided hostnames instead of a default domain can make a significant difference. Careful observation of the instructions regarding regional variations in hostnames prevented many headaches during my configuration process. It is important to confirm that all settings are accurate and to allow for DNS propagation after any changes. A methodical approach not only ensures smoother mail delivery but also minimizes potential troubleshooting efforts later.
