Does that work? |
Yes this will work for sure, I will make it a little simpler:
Situation:
The domain is hosted somewhere with emails and http. You just want emails to be transferred to eukhost and not the http.
Here is what that is required:
1. Add the domain name on the eukhost server.
2. Ask the client to change the 'A' record of mail.'domain'.com to <eukhost_ip> in the DNS so that mail.'domain'.com points to eukhost.
3. Change the MX record in the DNS of the domain at old host to mail.'domain'.com
Now all the emails will be forwarded to the eukhost server. Make sure that you have all the email addresses created on eukhost server or they will bounce back.
