Hi again,
I set up my email addy here. I can send using the Squirrel portal but Im not getting the email Im sending to my webmaster@spywarebiz.com account.

I dont see any settings I need to do to recieve.

Any Ideas?

I believe you have to wait a little bit for the MX record to update if this is new domain. I would also double check and make sure you typed the correct address and then try sending again.

Im still in the design mode for my site. I havent transferred my domain name yet.
Will that cause me to not get emails?

The domain doesn't have to be transfer per say but the dns entry for it has to point to your server on bluehost. You will need to go through whom ever you have your domain registered with and add the bluehost naming servers if you haven't already.

primary nameserver : ns1.bluehost.com
secondary nameserver : ns2.bluehost.com

I see a dns entry for your domain but if this is from your old server than it won't work until you update the dns to point to bluehost.

Thanks for the quick reply, this is GREAT !

Im not ready yet to transfer my domain name here yet.
My site here is not ready.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

No Problem. When your site is ready and you transfer the domain, then you shouldn't have any problems with receiving emails. I haven't had any problems but unfortunatly you can't verify it without it being transfered. Glad this helped you out. :)
