Problem with Mail server..

HI,
Our mail server crashed today and I dont have a backup server now. Its going to take atleast a week for me to get the new server and to bring the mail backup. We are a small firm and at this point we are planning to host the mail server at yahoo. The problem is here..right now our domain is registered at register.com and the current registrant is no longer with the company. Register.com is not allowing us to change the NAME servers. They are pointing to our name servers. Is there any way, I can set the MX record on my DNS server to point to Yahoo name server ?

To be clear :

at register.com, my website xxx.com points to ns2.xxx.com and ns3.xxx.com
on my DNS server my MX points to an internal mail server..
now if I want to host my mail at yahoo web hosting, is there a way to set the MX record on my DNS server to point to yahoo name servers ?
Is there anything else that needs to be done ?

Anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

ASKER

Its Win2000 and exchange 2000..
if number of users is not big, redirect each mailbox to its respective Yahoo account.
