    Hello

    I have customer which site domain*.net (e) is hosted on my server.

    domain*.com is his site too, (but is hosted by another hoster) and as *.com is operational site, he ask me to set for domain*.net records of domain*.com

    so just now records for domain*.net are:

     
    domain*.net - 14400 in [b]A[/b] - IP of second hoster
    localhost.domain*.net -1440 in [b]A[/b] -127.0.0.1
    domain*.net 14400 ub [b]MX[/b] - 0
    www -14400 in [b]CNAME[/b] - domain*.[b]com[/b]
    FTP -14400 in [b]A[/b] - IP of second hoster
    
    Code (markup):
    everything works nice, untill my client need to setup emails on this domain - domain*.net

    i setup emails via cpanel, but if client try to connect via mail program (f.e. outlook express), he got an error. [as mail program try to connect to domain*.net which is pointed to domain*.com]

    so my question is, is there any way, to change (add) any record, and as result have working emails on domain*.net ?

    P.s. As i know, i must setup A or CNAME records of "mail" to my ip of domain*.net

    pls correct me, if i'm wrong ?

    any advice will be appreciated

    add MX entry to point to the .com server and it should work fine.
