So we have a website. I do all my emails using Microsoft Hosted Exchange. Some other people in the company use the email accounts of our website provider.
Now what I would like to do is to have a company email account (@mycompany.com) but actually use that Microsoft service (@microsoft…com). This should not disrupt the email accounts of my coworkers, though.
My website provider tells me I need to change the MX record. Microsoft says I need to change my CNAME. Frankly, I don't really know what either of those really mean but there is some sort of configuration interface that will let me add and delete CNAME or MX records.
So my question is: Is it even possible to have two different mail providers for my domain?
What do I have to do to get this working? (I know this is kind of a fuzzy question. I will gladly provide more detail if that helps)
If you're not familiar with MX and CNAME records, then I strongly suggest that you don't experiment with this stuff. You risk disabling the e-mail service for yourself and all your coworkers! They would probably not thank you for it. – Torben Gundtofte-Bruun – 2010-11-12T22:25:32.030
