Hi, I run an internet game ( and I found a place that would give all my members free e-mail. I use the apache server. My only problem is that they told me to add this line of code to my mail exchange on my DNS file and I have NO CLUE what that is...or where to put this. Any suggestions?

The code:
MX 0 sitemail.everyone.net.
 
You need to go to your registrar (where you bought your domain name) or whoever handles your dns records and create or edit the "MX" (Mail eXchange)record for your domain. If you edit the record directly, put that line in it. If you fill out a form, put 'sitemail.everyone.net handles mail for whiteoaks.idlegames.net.
