    Hi, I was just wondering how you change the domain of a website to a primary domain and move from POP?

    Configure the DNS to point to a new record as well?

    thanks

    Not sure on the exact question. Are you looking to host your website and E-mail internally?

    An It guy from outside the company used this method so that emails went to the server in our company I think.
    I' just like to know how to achieve this?

    You need to give more information on what your setup is and what you are trying to do.

    Sorry Mr Triffid, you need to quit starting lots and lots of threads and just say what your current setup is and what the problem is in one place.

    So is this still the problem that
    1. you have an inhouse Microsoft exchange server or another?
    2. mail is no longer being received inbound, but outgoing mail does get delivered correctly.

    Ok, you need to find the path that incoming mail is delivered to.
    Depending on your setup this might be sent directly to your mail server or through an outside hosted spam/virus filter.

    This is called the DNS MX record.
    If you put you domain name into http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx
    it'll tell you the MX records for your domain.

    Also if you send a mail from an external mail server e.g. a gmail account does it bounce back immediately, after a few hours or days with an error code or message that can be useful for finding the bottleneck?
