Finished creating a website for the Women of Quail Creek (WOQC), http://womenqc.com/. The website is now hosted at Wordpress with a domain at webhostingpad.com. Since Wordpress doesn't offer email accounts for domains, and WOQC want to use email addresses using the domain name, we purchased an email only account at webhostingpad.com. The trick then becomes creating a custom DNS for the domain name on Wordpress to point the domain name to the mail server. After three phone calls to webhostingpad, I finally got all of the correct information, the name of the mail server AND setting the priority to 0 (zero).
After much searching, I finally found the format for setting the priority buried in a Wordpress forum. Never having set up a custom DNS before, the sample provided by Wordpress didn't make much sense. Wordpress Support confirmed the format and the emails finally worked!
MX 0 mx101.webhostingpad.com.
In hindsight the entry now appears straightforward. It's all in what you know.
