Hi there, I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Porkbun hosted email. I took a quick peek and it looks like you have set up third party nameservers on your domain. As such you'll need to add our MX records to your third party hosted DNS to get your email up and working: https://kb.porkbun.com/article/47-how-to-use-porkbun-email-when-your-dns-is-hosted-elsewhere

If you need further assistance, I recommend reaching out to our support department who is available to help 24/7: support@porkbun.com

Oink! That’s how it starts… one domain turns into two… then suddenly you’ve got a whole herd!

And hey, whether it’s a piggy or a BiG BoSS BuNNy, we’re just happy to help make it happen
