Email only?

[vortx]

I haven't found this addressed somewhere yet...

If you have an email only hosting client, and their website is hosted elsewhere, how would you go about setting up email for them?
When a new account is set up, we are instructed to go to ourdomain.com/cpanel to configure new email accounts, but if dns for the site is set up elsewhere, how does this work?

Do all email accounts on one domain *have* to have websites here too?

Hi,

Then can use http://yourdomainhere.com/cpanel or http://ip/cpanel

As long as the MX record is setup correctly where the DNS is hosted it will work just fine.

Hi,

If they use only POP3/IMAP to read the mail, the only thing to do is to change the MX record so it points here (i suppose your client email is at H9).

To read/write/create email accounts via webmail then you would use the IP of the server (or if you have a dedicated IP for hosting) in the format of: http://ip.ad.ddre.ss/cpanel .

That would solve your clients problem and yours to. This is only valid if the DNS is pointing somewhere else.

Cheers,
