Hi,
We are hosting our web site on host monster, but want our email to continue to be hosted at the old site. Our domain points to the hostmonster DNS servers, but I can't figure out the right configuration for the remote email servers. We have one MX entry, which is
priority: 0
domain: ourdomain.com
And then we have these DNS entries ...
name: mail.ourdomain.com
ttl: 14400
class: IN
type: A
record: old.host.ip.address
name: mail1.ourdomain.com
ttl: 14400
class: IN
type: A
record: old.host.secondip.address
Can someone tell me what I need to add/edit to get mail to correctly route to our old host? Thanks, - Dave
