A client currently has emails such as:

user@uk.domain.com

they have these two A records (among others, to different IPs):

uk.domain.com
mail.domain.com

pointing to the same IP address.

There is only one mx record - domain.com --> mail.domain.com

I believe they are on an exchange at the moment, whether that makes any difference.

I am to transfer control of mail to our own server, which is not an exchange. Is this task as simple as:

creating a subdomain uk.domain.com

and pointing the A records to the IP of the new mail server?

Change/update the MX record to point to the new email host (which should be an existing A record in your DNS zone).
