Configuring GSuite to work with route 53 - "MX record doesn't have 2 fields" error
Aug 29
I'm doing my best to follow GSuite's out of date instructions for routing emails to Gmail via a AWS Route 53 hosted zone (i.e. domain). Here are the outdated instructions:
I set the Values as instructed:
And I see:
Error occurred
Bad request.
(InvalidChangeBatch 400: MXRRDATANotTwoFields (MX record doesn't have 2 fields) encountered with '')

I was able to reproduce this exact scenario when I used the new AWS Route 53 interface.
To resolve it I selected the use the old console. link from the top.
I then pasted the values below and it worked.
1 aspmx.l.google.com.
5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com.
5 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com.
10 alt3.aspmx.l.google.com.
10 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com.
For now use the old console for doing this would be my suggestion.
