How do I point just the Website to another IP but keep the email to existing hosting? Is this correct?

Question

How do I point just the Website to another IP but keep the email to existing hosting?

Website has to point to IP: 202.51.74.81

Email has to point to: 202.63.240.138

We use the following for checking email:

webmail.domainname.com
mail.domainname.com
domainname.com/webmail

I have done the following. Will it work? If not what will? Thank you.

domainname.com. 14400   IN  A
202.51.74.81
domainname.com. 14400   IN  MX

Priority: 0
Destination: domainname.com
mail.domainname.com.    14400   IN  A

202.63.240.138
www.domainname.com. 14400   IN  CNAME

domainname.com
ftp.domainname.com. 14400   IN  A

202.63.240.138
domainname.com. 14400   IN  TXT

That's probably otherwise ok, but your MX record should point to the mail server!

example.com. IN MX 0 mail.example.com.

Thank you
So I have done this:

domainname.com.np. 14400 IN MX Priority: 0 Destination: mail.domainname.com.np

Yes, as that server handles your incoming mail. – Esa Jokinen Mar 28 '20 at 07:20
We use this url for webmail: webmail.domainname.com.np.
So will that work too?
– Uzi Max Mar 28 '20 at 07:20
Everything pointing to the mail server is handled by it, so yes. – Esa Jokinen Mar 28 '20 at 07:36
