I am trying to setup a domain on my server where I will not host the DNS info as well. I am hosting ONLY the site - Mail is hosted elsewhere.

I have the site running fine... but I cannot seem to figure out how to get MAIL sent from the server (shopping cart software through sendmail) to go to their mail server.

I've currently only got 2 DNS entries for them on my server... both NS records pointing to their NetworkSolutions nameservers (NetSol also hosts their e-mail.)

Any assistance is greatly apprecaited!!!

Figured it out... want to share it.

No matter what I did in the zone file, it didn't seem to work... as all local e-mails were still going LOCAL.

The answer:
In WHM -> DNS Fuctions -> Edit MX Entry (this will change the LOCAL MX entry)
