By the sounds of it, removing it will then prevent clients (http or otherwise) from resolving domain.com to an address, so one obvious side effect will be http://domain.com&nbsp;will be unavailable.

I've found a DNS A Record for: &nbsp;@domain.com &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The IP is not for the mail server (MX records are correct), but it is the IP for the web site. &nbsp;Was this probably put in originally for Squirrel Mail, which is not used and disabled, or for some other reason? &nbsp;And can this A Record be deleted?<br />
<br />
The only think left on the server this A Record is pointing to is an FTP site, and it's beeing moved shortly.<br />

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
