I have a Google Cloud server with Cloud DNS working for my domain and IIS hosted website.
I need email for my domain to be forwarded, i.e. for john@myCloudServerDomain.com to go to my existing account john@gmail.com.
I tried putting an MX record in as per https://cloud.google.com/dns/what-is-cloud-dns but my emails aren't coming through.
What's the best option to get email from my domain?:
- Set Cloud DNS to forward emails
- Set GoDaddy email up? (I bought the domain from them but the nameservers point to Google Cloud, I imagine this means I cannot use their email service..)
- A better 'standard practice' option I haven't thought of?
Answer
OK, thanks for the comments guys. I didn't want to setup a mail server and have that drama, nor did I want to pay for email.
I've solved this by setting GoDaddy's name servers back to point to GoDaddy, and setting my VM's static IP as the A record in GoDaddy's management tool. This allows my website to load using DNS to resolve my domain and I can use the free GoDaddy email forwarders/accounts and I no longer have a requirement to use the Google Cloud DNS.
