A new client has a website on a server that does not offer email service. She uses an email service provided by her ISP. She is changing ISPs in a few weeks, and wants to have me provide email service plus some subdomain websites.
To start, I created a local account with the new client's domain name, and set her MX record to the ISP so email from me will still get to her prior to getting accounts moved. Then I set up subdomains on my server, and had her web guy add the subdomains with the IP of my server to his nameserver record.
So far so good.
I am assuming we can just have the remote guy add a mail subdomain pointing to my IP, then change the MX to mail.clientdomain.com, and we'll be OK. Sound right?
