You're trying to figure out who owns the name servers for abc.com, 123.com, and xyz.com.

$nslookup
set type=ns
abc.com.

{you'll get answer 1 here}

123.com.
{you'll get answer 2 here}

xyz.com.
{you'll get answer 3 here}

You'll need to figure out who runs the servers for (1, 2, and 3). Have them modify the MX record.

Technically, the "whois" records reflect contacts for the registration. The contact actually responsible for the DNS zone is the "person" field of the DNS SOA record. (dig domainname soa).

For realitywebdesigns.co.uk, it's admin@domain.com and for pakidost.com, it's administrator@pakidost.com.

Whether you get help from the SOA contact or the whois contact, you need MX records set to redirect the domains:
xyz.com IN MX 123.com.
abc.com IN MX 123.com.

This presumes that there is an A record for "123.com" that points to the IP of a mailserver that is configured to do local delivery for xyz.com and abc.com

DNS zone changes need to be made on the "authoritative" server for the zone, as indicated on the SOA record. Unless you have a way to take control of that server remotely, I think you're going to have to deal with its sysadmin.

[Sean OB_1]

You can not do this remotely, unless you have administrative access to the server.

If you are not the DNS admin for those zones, I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you don't mess with them, even if you do have admin access.

To me your question sounds like something a hacker would want to know.

It sounds like you want to route someone else's mail to your server without them knowing about it.

hi !
i just wanted to know the working of everyone.net
this compnay give user email space on their servers you just give them your domain and your mail will route to their servers and then user can acces there mailbox uisng there servers
i was looking for a way where i can host the application ( hotmail like application ) on some shared hosting space then remotly control the dns setting of both my clients ( the people which will sign for email space ) also i wnated to control the dns setting of sahred server
remmber i dont have physical access
that is what i wanted to do but i think there is no way to do that unless i have physical acess
am i right ?

i am no hacker !
