Email forwarding
-
Hi,
I’ve configured three emails addresses, and I want them to be forwarded to my gmail account. I have tested sending different emails from another account, but that doesn’t work. The 72 hours for configuration have already passed, so, I would like to know which is the problem.
Thanks for your help.

You are using CloudFlare to handle DNS so you have to configure an MX record in your CloudFlare account
MX smtp-fwd.wordpress.com

Thanks for the solution. Now, should I wait another 72 hours until the accounts were configured or could I test them already?

You’re welcome. You don’t seem to have correctly created the records have a look at this image – http://i.imgur.com/QXpfxah.png

Ops, I was wrong. Should I write in the field “name” my email address with theslowpace(dot)com domain?
-
No just enter the exact values that screenshot shows.
In the world of DNS if you use @ it means you are referring to the main domain name i.e. theslowpace.com
So if you want email addresses like me[at]subdomain.theslowpace.com you’d be entering “subdomain” in the “name” field.
