who and how do i change dns record / MX record
Ok guys here is what i get using ArGoSoft's domain check on my mail server:

Diagnosing domain MAIL.FAMVANS.COM
Using DNS Server 66.75.160.42
Getting MX Records for the domain
Retrieved 1 MX record(s):
mail.famvans.com
Resolving IP addresses for mail exchangers
Exchanger mail.famvans.com resolves to 216.147.97.235
Contacting exchanger mail.famvans.com at 216.147.97.235
Response from server mail.famvans.com:
220 host4.thehostgroup.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.10/8.12.10; Sat, 6 Dec 2003 13:31:28 -0500
Successful contacts 1, unsuccessful contacts 0
Done
Thread Terminated


Currently my email is being hosted by some company and I want to setup my own email server.
My guess is that i want to change 216.147.97.235 to the ip of the machine that is at my office, correct??
So, how do I go about doing this and who do I contact. I only want to move email server. The website is going to stay right where it is.

Thanks for the help,
MICHAEL

Currently 'a.mx.FAMVANS.COM' is the domain being used to send emails to anybody@famvans.com. However, mail.famvans.com resolves to the same IP, so it should be changed too.

This is the contact information for that domain:

http://www.whois.net/whois.cgi2?d=FAMVANS.COM

I'm going to assume you're Michael Ziadeh, so the email address of the person you need to talk to is: domaster@via5.com

Hummmmm how did you guess that I am Michael Ziadeh????

O.K. sounds easy enough, now all I have to do is work out the bugs in my mail server and things should go smoothly right?

Anyone out there familiar with ArGoSoft's Mial Server Software???

Thanks SilentRage,

MICHAEL
