Welcome to WebmasterWorld hefterr. :) You need to modify your domains "MX record", which is the record in the DNS referring to the server which handles the mail for the domain. So the answer to your question is yes, as you don't have to have mail sent to the same server as a website. Check out the DNS settings in your domain registrar's control panel.

Hi Encncyclo,

Thanks for the info. I looked up the details of the DNS record and I understand what you are referring to. <snip>

Thanks again.
