How to host emails at another server

Recommended Posts

Hi there.

 

I have some problems managing my emails. Here is a quick review:

 

- My server runs via DirectAdmin control panel.

- DirectAdmin will not allow you to create email account for parked domains. ( trust me, there is no way )

- I have an account with many many parked domains ( about 400 and going more ) that all of them requires info@ email address.

 

Is there anyway ( NS records, etc ) to forward @domain.com requests to any other server?

 

For example, if the server received a request to info@parkeddomain.com ( that not physically existed ), automatically forward it to assigned server that the info@parkeddomain.com is really existed there.

 

Hope you can understand what i want  :D

Thanks a lot.

Regards.

IIRC, if there is no MX record for a domain then email systems should try to use the server in the A record; CNAMEs should work too but the email address may be rewritten to use that domain instead (I see it happening with a couple domain names of mine).

 

In all four possibilities I can see you'll need an MX record for the parked domains. Those records can all point to the same server if you wish, but that server would have to be configured to accept each @parkeddomain.com domain name (at the least, maybe even each name@ too).
