Well, let me go ahead then (and hopefully you will love this): you ARE wrong. Google App Engine is about the deployment of your application, including on your domain, if you so choose. An integral part of my application is to be able to receive emailed feedback from my users. Thus I have a problem with APP ENGINE when the requirements for DNS setup for APP ENGINE conflict with that of another Google product (Google's mail service for your domain). If, for example, CNAME records did NOT conflict with MX records, then this wouldn't be a Google problem. > If you're messing with MX records, then (assuming what your trying to do is > use gmail on "Google Apps for my domain"), this is probably what you want: > > http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=69003&topic=14584 You're right, I am trying to use Google Apps for my domain. The unfortunate part is that you only read the title, saw the MX records, and hit REPLY instead of actually reading the message. I have been to that page countless times and, in fact, I not only have it bookmarked, but I have also emailed it to my DNS host's page. I am well aware of its existence, have followed the steps, and the problem is with a conflict between the MX record setup defined there and the CNAME setup required by Google App Engine (*ahem* so it is relevant). > But it's off-topic on this mailing list, further questions about email setup > belong in this discussion group:http://groups.google.com/group/apps-discuss See above. > On Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 2:25 AM, ade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I've got the exact same problem too.
