Donating MX Entries

"That domain is not allowed"

Author: S.Watt2 (8 Jul 07 4:37am)

I'm trying to set up MX donations in a couple of different domains I own, but it seems that it won't let me do a donation for any but the domain that I picked for my registration email.

Say that I registered as some.person@myparticulardomain.com, but I also happen to have myotherdomain.org registered, I don't seem to be able to donate something under myotherdomain.org.

Presumably that's a semi-feature to prevent abuse, but it kinda reduces the value of my MX donations, since they'd be across widely different domain names.

Interesting, because I was going to donate an MX from the "other" domain I own. Actually several since it is a parked domain.

Give it a try, maybe it'll work. It didn't for me, though. Or are you here because it didn't work for you either?

I haven't tried it. I just thought using a parked domain would be something useful done with it. I bought it because it was only 99 cents.

It should work, I have donated several MX records on several different domains with no problems at all.

The more domains people can donate MX entries from the better obviously, as there's a wider range of addresses.
