How do I set up an external mail server (dns?)

[Marcosa]

My client wants hosting through me but has an exchange server on a public IP they want to continue to use for E-mail. No problem as far as I'm concerned. I didn't want to set-up their 40 some-odd addresses anyways. But this, I've never done. Is it as simple as changing the DNS record that normally points to their hosting IP and replacing that number with the public IP of their exchange server?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Search is a useful forum function...

See the following thread for the info you seek:

Setup External Mail Server Delivery for Hosted Domains

AND you would still need to point the domain's MX record to their IP.

Well, that's kind of what I was looking for. Actually, this appears to be for the Linux Operating System and my server is on a Win2003 server box. Any ideas on how to convert the information to my paradigm?
