Hello, my account is [solidprint.net](http://solidprint.net) and I configured the MX to point to gmail [ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM](http://ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM).  
First I didn’t create the email address in infinityfree and when I try to send an email to it I got an error back saying that address was not in the virtual list.  
I created the address within infinityfree (myaddress @ solidprint . net) and now I get the emails but in the email client (roundcube) and not in the Gmail I have.  
I had this site in other hosting but I’m trying this one now.

Please help in configuring this.

The error I receive back when the email is not created is:

HEllo, It seems I didn’t wait enough time for the MX to propagate to google servers.  
For anyone that needs this you have to create the email account in infinityfree and configure the MX record to google ([ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM](http://ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM)) . You have to wait as I should have done!

Just to be sure, you are referring to G Suite, and not Gmail, right?

Because Gmail’s mail servers are only configured to receive email for Gmail. Gmail won’t accept email for your own domain name (unless you purchase G Suite, Google’s business email service).

Good to hear, thanks for the clarification!

I’ve checked your MX records for [solidprint.net](http://solidprint.net) and it looks like everything is set up correctly. The error email you saw before implies that the MX record was [mx.solidprint.net](http://mx.solidprint.net) before, but that doesn’t seem to be right now.

Please try to send the email again, it should work without any problems now.
