Help setting up an offsite mail server using Plesk 7.5 Windows
I've got a client that wants to host with me however they want to run their own off-site mail server. I've never set this up before using Plesk (7.5.6) for Windows and I was wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction.
Since I won't be hosting the mail server but I will be the NS, I'm assuming my MX records will need to point to the correct mail server. The current offsite MX records are:
0 mx1.mysuperpageshosting.com. [TTL=14400] IP=64.29.145.105 (No Glue) [TTL=60523] [US]
20 mx2.mysuperpageshosting.com. [TTL=14400] IP=64.29.145.110 (No Glue) [TTL=60523] [US]
30 mx3.mysuperpageshosting.com. [TTL=14400] IP=64.29.145.111 (No Glue) [TTL=60523] [US]
40 mx4.mysuperpageshosting.com. [TTL=14400] IP=64.29.145.112 (No Glue) [TTL=60523]
I've done this a long time ago on Linux/Cpanel so I think I understand the basic concept (then again, you never know). I guess the problem is I'm unable to enter the above settings (mx1.mysuperpageshosting.com) when editing the DNS records for the account via Plesk. It only lets me apply x.domain.com (eg. mail.domain.com) for mx records.
This leads me to think I'm going about this the wrong way. Can anyone offer any insight? I just found out about this and they want to go live this weekend.
Thanks
