Question about email campains, newsletters and hosting

[Yves_-Disgusted-_D_]

Hi all, i have a client who need a newsletter system, to send the weekly what they call thier "journal" to thier clients... i told them about my new Web solutions
(i recenly became a premium partner and rebranded BC)

We will redo thier website and host it on BC.

They have hundreds of emails accounts. (they are a medium size company) We dont want to mess with that.

Thier in house IT tech confirmed me that the mail server is hosted apart of thier actual web site.

So my question is, if we make a new site for that client, and choose the Webmarketing plan, will they be able to have the newsletters, email campains etc.
even if they dont have any email account inside BC?

if so, how do we just host a website on bc and have an external email server (managed by some other guy)?

thanks for helping me on this newbie issue and sorry if my english seems lousy ; )

hope to hear from you soon.

Hi.

I've recently had the same question with one of my customers.

They wanted the new site I was developing for them hosted on Adobe BC, but to keep all their emails with their existing Internet Service Provider.

I was given this link:

Step 3 Point 2 - "Pointing A-Records to your BC Site" - is what needs to happen.

This is what I did with my customer and they are now happily implementing email campaigns from Adobe BC even though their email accounts are hosted elsewhere.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for answering quckly Derek, so for what i understand...

we need to go to thier registrar, and redirect by an A record to the BC ip. so that way the MX wont be affected?

you see, i'm no "network ninja" if you know what i mean...

I'm not a "network ninja" either, but yes that is exactly what we did.

It has worked perfectly and none of my customers email accounts have be affected.

With best wishes for a successful website launch
