Direct Admin MX records Modification

[rayboy28]

im fairly new to Direct admin and was wondering how to change t he following..

i recently purchased linux hosting for my company.. with Directadmin installed.

Currently the DNS setup is

A Record - Domain Name - IPXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
A Record - www - IPXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
A Record - ftp -IPXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
A Record - mail- IPXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
MX Record - mail.domainname.com Priority - 10

and currently the emails are setup as
POP3 -> Mail.domainname.com
SMTP->Mail.domainname.com


------------------------------------------------

Butsince im transfering from an old hosting company and i have about 501 email accounts and users all over the country.. which has the following setup
POP3 -> domainname.com
SMTP->smtp.domainname.com

how do i change the above settings in my new hosting.. as i cant change all 501 users to the new setup..

i managed to make SMTP.domainname.com , by assigninga new Alias and MX record, but how do i make Domainname.com(without alias) as well into a MX record... so thatthe transfer from hosting companies will not affect the users?

The Mail confuses me. Are you saying you've got records beginning with an uppercase M?

Where?

If in DNS, then create duplicate records with a lowercase m and delete the records with the uppercase M.

All you need to do to fix the smtp issue is create an A record for smtp with the same IP#. Then your users will continue to get their email as they do now.
