digitalocean mail records (copied from a first attempt on digitalocean).

Not sure if this is right. Is a new domain required for setting up the mailgun email?
For webfaction all I needed to do was add MX records to the existing domain.
But mailgun is a different kind of animal, so maybe this is right.
Don’t recall where I got the info.

mg.lucidastrology.com
