E-mail does not have a valid MX Record

Post by kyoharu » Wed Apr 01, 2009 6:46 pm

What the heck does that mean? I and a friend are trying to register on the site to upload AMV's, I already have one but I'm trying to make one for her but we keep getting the same error message "Your e-mail does not contain a valid MX Record" or something like that. Wtf is an MX Record?

I think it means the email's domain is compromised in some way - perhaps it's been tagged as a spamming domain.

When was the last time you tried? We had connectivity issues earlier in the day.
