Thanks for the reply Mark
Think I see why it won't work. So ... perhaps if I explain the problem we can find a better solution
My customer has several domains - most of which I'm taking over - no problem
He has one
website hosting which is currently hosted by someone else. For this
website hosting he wants to have the http side of things to stay where they are and just the email side of things to live with me.
So ... Plan B
I create this
website hosting (hissite1) on euk. The nameservers for the domain stay the same (pointing to other hosting company) and I get them to alter the MX records to point to euk
Does that work?
