SOLVED Use cPanel as External Email Server?

Hi everyone,

So I have a hosting package with Hostgator which includes hosting, domains, emails, and so on. Now for the domains attached to this hosting package, I can easily go on Cpanel to create email accounts. But I have some other domains attached to other hosting packages, and for those domains I would like to use my hostgator hosting package just as an email server, while the website is hosted somewhere else. I know this is possible with email providers like G Suite, and Zoho Mail, where you set up an account, and change the DNS records of your domain, so that email goes through them. I was wondering if there was a way for doing the same with my hostgator hosting package. That I change the DNS records for my other domains, and point the email settings towards my hostgator hosting package to make email accounts, while the website itself continues being hosted somewhere else. Any ideas as to how I can do this?

Thanks in advance for all input.

 

Thank you very much for your help. I did exactly as you said, and it works flawlessly. Just saved myself some money every month.
