Google Apps Mail Setup on eapps.com

For our last project Remotespots (which is an online click analysis tool), we chose eApps as the virtual hosting solution which is so far very good indeed.  For mail server, since we trust the big brother Google, we use Google apps. Following is the simple steps for setting up the Google Apps Mail on eApps. (by the way, this is the case if you let eApps machine as your DNS server.)

A simple process as it should be but still worth documenting,

• Register an Standard Google Apps account (so far this version is enough for our needs)
• Open eapps control panel and go to system tab

• Scroll down to All My Domains and select it
• Here you will see the domains that you added, select the one that you want to add mail functionality.

• Delete the existing MX records
• Add the ones Google Apps ask as the following (leave the first field empty!)

And of course give some time for the propagation of the new MX records to all caches on planet earth!
