Hi there

Can anybody help me?

How would I configure my Linux VPS to receive email for another domain? (Not on the same physical server)

Hello,

If the domain is hosted on some other server & you want the emails for that domain routed on your vps, you can simply point the MX record for that domain to your VPS, from the DNS zone on the other server. Also make sure you create an account for that domain on your vps.

Hello,

Yes, though you dont want hosting for that domain on your vps, but you will have to create an account for the domain on your vps, so you can host the mails for the domain.
