Hi Suresh,
Ask Your ISP to put an MX entry to route all your mails to Your Exchange
Server IP address. I will Give one Example for u.
Taken from nslookup
[siddiqu@lotus siddiqu]$ nslookup
Default Server: md2.vsnl.net.in
Address: 202.54.6.20
> set type=mx
> set type=any
>
> amrita.edu
Server: md2.vsnl.net.in
Address: 202.54.6.20
Non-authoritative answer:
amrita.edu nameserver = NS.BAYAREA.NET
amrita.edu nameserver = NS3.BAYAREA.NET
amrita.edu nameserver = NS4.BAYAREA.NET
amrita.edu
origin = amrita.edu
mail addr = hostmaster.amrita.edu
serial = 1998010102
refresh = 10800 (3H)
retry = 3600 (1H)
expire = 604800 (1W)
minimum ttl = 86400 (1D)
amrita.edu preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.amrita.edu
amrita.edu preference = 20, mail exchanger = mail.BAYAREA.NET
amrita.edu internet address = 205.219.83.138
Authoritative answers can be found from:
amrita.edu nameserver = NS.BAYAREA.NET
amrita.edu nameserver = NS3.BAYAREA.NET
amrita.edu nameserver = NS4.BAYAREA.NET
NS.BAYAREA.NET internet address = 204.71.212.2
NS3.BAYAREA.NET internet address = 205.219.84.5
NS4.BAYAREA.NET internet address = 205.219.84.7
mail.amrita.edu internet address = 203.197.154.194
mail.BAYAREA.NET internet address = 205.219.84.13
Look at the above Example. the domain amrita.edu hosted in bayarea.net
Server in US. and they added one MX record (mail.amrita.edu) to route
all the mails to that server(mail.amrita.edu). That server is located
in some other place. the second record is for backup, if the first one
fails, it will receive the mails and forward to the first one when the
first one is ready. You can add A records to point any server for WWW
and other applications.
