I was wondering if anybody could provide me with some assistance.

I added a webaddress in the "Webpage to Forward to" section of the forwarding tab. This was to forward the webpage to a different site. This works fine and I had assumed it would only forward the web address and not affect the emails. Is my understanding correct?

The MX records were already set and working to send emails to a server in the company's office. Now emails are not being received. Does the webpage forwarding option overwrite how the MX records direct?

I went to remove the forwarding and the system will not let me enter a blank address - it seems impossible to return to now not have it forwarding. Does anyone know how I can remove the forwarding?  

Any help appreciated. I cannot contact the dynadot team for support as the time difference means they are not open yet.

Kind regards,

Fraser

It depends on how the domain was set up prior to you making your changes.  For example, if your domain was previously using Name Servers and you set the domain to use Forwarding, email would be effected.  The Name Servers control all of the DNS settings, including MX records, so by disabling the use of those Name Servers, you'd need also be effecting the MX records.  To fix that, you'd need to add MX records through our system.  


If you wanted to use Forwarding and then make sure your email works, after you add the Forwarding, you'd add MX records using these steps:
