Sorry, it's a bit confusing. If you want to use gmail, then configure e-mail clients for gmail. There is no need to setup domain for gmail, it's here already, in any dns

they want to eventually use their own domain with google mail. &nbsp;So now they're just testing and to do so google told them to setup a subdomain to test with. &nbsp;This way eventually all of their domain email will filter to gmail interface I'm guessing. &nbsp;Their website is hosted with me, but they want their email to go through google. &nbsp;make sense?

I have a client that needs to test their gmail email services via their cpanel account. &nbsp;i need it setup with subdomain gmail.subdomain.com.<br />
<br />
Currently it's setup like this:<br />
<br />
domain.com. 14400 MX 0 domain.com.<br />
gmail &nbsp;14400 MX 1 aspmx.l.google.com.<br />
gmail &nbsp;14400 MX 5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com.<br />
<br />
Do I need to setup a separate gmail cname or A record to get htis to work? &nbsp;It seems setting up a subdomain for testing gmail is much more difficult than just setting up the domain name for gmail. <br />

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
