Looks like your not using the correct name servers. Especially you have 8 listed for your domain where AWS only supplys 4

I would check the NS records in your Zone and update the Domain Glue records to point to the correct name servers.

Hi Chao,

Missing "." at the end of each value?
So

```
1 smtp.google.com. <-- dot here
15 another-record.com. <-- dot here
```

Thanks,

I don't see any MX records in that zone:

% dig uniscrm.link -t MX

; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> uniscrm.link -t MX

Check that you are putting them into the correct Route53 hosted-zone, you can have multiple Route53 Hosted Zones with the same domain name. The one that you need to create the records in has the following delegation set:

% dig uniscrm.link -t NS +short
ns-295.awsdns-36.com.
ns-1741.awsdns-25.co.uk.
ns-1052.awsdns-03.org.
ns-949.awsdns-54.net.
