hi,
sorry for not responding right away--been busy. why can't i change my CNAME records and will that affect my ability to use email with another service (under my domain name) while having my website hosted here?

just changing the mx record should do the trick (I had it setup using a GoDaddy email service, it worked fine, although took about 48 hours to propagate which is normal, but sooo long when you sit there whaiting for it).
I do have a question of my own though:
Is it possible to add a secondary MX record something along the lines of:
MX value=10 serv3.freehostia.com
MX value=20 mail.otherserver.com
So that when someone sends an email at
me@mysite.com and serv3.freehostia.com is down and cannot receive mail, mail.otherserver.com will handle the receival instead (sort of having more than one MX record)
