Sending e-mail through remote mail servers from the local machine

Ok so the topic heading doesn't make too much sense..

Heres my issue:

- I have domain.com hosted on a machine, including the DNS being hosted on the machine.
- The mail for domain.com is handled elsewhere (actually Google Apps) - so the MX values are those for google apps to handle the e-mail.

Everything is fine, no problems! UNTIL I try to send an e-mail from the machine that is hosting the website (and DNS) to an address at that domain. This includes sending normal e-mail and forwarders from other domains. Sometimes the message que shows that the account does not exist.

The way I see it, the server sees the domain locally and therefore is trying to deliver the mail locally - but in the dns zone the MX values are actually different...

Has anybody else had this problem, how can I go about fixing it?

Thanks v.much

Mike

Go to the user panel click on mx records and the bottom uncheck local mail server.

Wow, thanks a lot. That teaches me to learn our control panel better...

I had always changed MX records through the DNS control directly, never even considered the MX page.

Thank you ever so much, my second stupid mistake publicized at these forums

Thanks again bclark94.
