help with mx records & domain names

by networknewb . Updated 17 years, 1 month ago

Hi all,

I’m in the process of switching isp’s and have a ? about mxrecords and domain names.

basically I have ISP “A”…they currently provide internet services here to this suite, I purchase our domain names through them.

(this is where I get fuzzy) lets say we have domain. mail.company.com…..I use this for rpc over http so users can access this over the web…it’s tied to a static with them under the domain name (i’m assuming the mx records are assigned to that static or domain name…not sure.

anyway…I’m in the process of switching ISP services…same building..different ISP with different outside static addresses for us.

would I need to have my former ISP (who I purchased the domains through) point the mx records to the new static address? or point the domain to the new static? for emails to flow to the correct destination?

excuse my ignorance in this area….the servers will be relocated to a NOC and changing outside access basically.
