Description
we're finally shifting our nymediaalliance.org domain over from our current registrar + mail provider, concision, to mayfirst, so we can consolidate user access and email accounts. (concision will continue to be our registrar since you folks don't do that.)
can someone look through our DNS settings and confirm that everything is ready?
there are also a few DNS records for that domain that seem unnecessary:
A mail.nymediaalliance.org 209.51.163.199 MX lists.nymediaalliance.org leslie.mayfirst.org
what purpose do those serve? can/should I delete them?
thanks. chris

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
as it turns out, no one even uses a POP or IMAP account currently--all of our active email addresses forward to that person's other main account. this means that no one needs to alter any settings, and i'll just recreate all of the same forwarding addresses through mayfirst.
i've just deleted the (inactive anyway) A record for mail.nymediaalliance.org. i'm not sure if we actually use that mailing list actively, but i'll leave the MX record for lists.nymediaalliance.org in place for now.
i'll get our registrar to switch to mayfirst nameservers overnight, and then everything should be in place! thanks for your help.

Hi Chris - great to hear that you are making this move.
I just took a quick look at your DNS settings and they look good to me.
Before switching the email, I'd suggest checking out our transfer email faq (if you haven't already). Switching email can be tricky.
As for your questions:
