Before I attempt this, I was just curious what the best method for doing this is.
I currently have my maindomain.com, it is being used for two servers...my main business server (no clients) as well as a shared client server (hq.maindomain.com and shared1.maindomain.com hostnames respectively).
I still want my servers to handle the mail, so I need to have them reroute the mail just for maindomain.com to the gmail servers.
My question is, since all of the domains on the shared server also use mail.maindomain.com or shared1.maindomain.com as valid MX records...would changing the MX record at the siteworx level for maindomain.com to route email to google work while still allowing all other domains to process email correctly?
Hopefully that makes sense.
Right now email is routed to my servers (which I will hopefully be switching to use Mandrill as soon as I get around to it).
Current route:
maindomain.com - direct to hq.maindomain.com
clientdomains.com - direct to shared.maindomain.com
Desired:
maindomain.com - direct to hq.maindomain.com then routed to google
clientdomains.com - direct to shared.maindomain.com
I just don't want MX record changes to maindomain.com to have an affect on the shared server since it is using the same top level domain for it's mailserver. Is this possible, or am I going to need to just whitelabel all my shared servers with a new mailserver domain?
