i registered a domain with go daddy and setup an email using that domain and i recently got free webspace to host the website with that domain and i changed the DNS server settings inside my domain account preferences when logged in at godaddy.com and now for some reason my email forwarding for the domain is not working right and listed under the e-mail address for the domain is --- pending setup: validating MX record --- ? anyone care to explain this to me?
 
i think i figured it out...

Can I use your email account if I host my domain with another registrar? ANSWER:
Yes, but you will have to change your Zone records (MX and CName) with your registrar. Follow the steps below.

Step 1: Log in to your account at your domain registrar?s Web site.

Step 2: Locate the Zone record set up for your domain.

NOTE: Not all registrars will allow you to modify these records. If your registrar will not allow you to modify your Zone records contact their customer support for help.

Step 3: Replace the existing records with the information below:

yourdomain.com ? MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = smtp.secureserver.net
yourdomain.com ? MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = mailstore1.secureserver.net


If you would like to use your email in a POP3 client, change your CNAME records to the following:

mail - map to pop.secureserver.net
email - map to email.secureserver.net
