Create new MX records for Google Apps Amazon Route 53

Question

I'm very new to all things web-development. I have a website registered with Route 53 and am using Amazon Web Services to host the content. I am trying to use Google Apps for Work to get email addresses using the domain, and it's asking me to edit the MX records. I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do and where I'm supposed to do it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

• Login to the Route 53 Console
• Select your domain name and click "Go To Record Sets"
• Click "Create Record Set"
• Leave Name empty
• For Type select MX
• For Value copy and paste the following.

1 	ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
5 	ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
5 	ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
10 	ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
10 	ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

Make sure that the domains end in a period "." to ensure it's treated as a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name)
