How to change local delivery MX records as admin?

[Netbulae]

Hi,

A lot of our customers have trouble when they have an external e-mail server.

The setting for "local delivery" on the MX record page is not clear to most users. Plus there is a problem with domain pointers and local delivery, I had to install a separate plugin to manage this.

Is there a way as admin to manage this for our users? Currently I have to enable DNS control, login as the user, disable local delivery and disable DNS control again. This should not take this many steps and is forgotten a lot.

Maybe we can have the setting changed in a simple "e-mail for this domain is hosted externally" on the domain page itself (while adding new domain?).

This should save a lot of problems and support calls about mail getting lost.

On this place: Admin Level >> DNS Administration >> Click on any domain to edit DNS

On that page you can do everything except for changing "Local mail delivery". Maybe that can be a feature request?

The local delivery part is my problem

I think I'll just try to disable this setting as default.

Even when the mail is local, this would be routed with a DNS lookup just fine.

Be sure to test this; I vaguely recall that it doesn't work because mail get's stuck in a loop. So be sure to test.
