E-Mail doesn't get through

I have read the topics where the users have exactly the same problem. Now my question is the following. What's the solution so I get the email from searchirc to get through. Looking up and down west to east into my cpanel settings I've found a mx setting which allows me to change the mx server (Screenshot below)

if i change this to my free yahoo.co.uk email (which has pop3 access) or gmail will the emails get through?
thanks for the help in advance

kind regards.

your MX records are for specifying a server to manage your email outside of the domain itself.

What you're likely looking for is a mail forwarder.

forwarders are caught first by my server so if sirc email is invallid then there won't be no forwarding.

Now my question is the following:

why not searchirc uses a VALID email account like idk "submissions@searchirc.com" and then they reject the incoming email?????

this way emails wont get filtered and everyone is happy Very Happy

It's a Gmail issue. Read Jason's comments here.

The way to fix it is to disable address verification.

what does gmail have to do with searchirc and my emails? ;o

there's no way i can get into that level of server configuration because all i have is a cpanel account, regular webhosting account.
i guess my network won't be listed on searchirc then Sad

We use Gmail for our email service. You need to contact your hosting provider with the relevant information to get it changed.
