Changing mx record

[enginaar]

Hello,

I've changed one of my domains mx record by modifying the ip address of mail record in domains dns file and only this domains uses a remote server for mails only.

It works alright but when other domains on the hosting server send mails to that domain which uses a different server for mails, it doesn't goes to the remote server, my server delivers them to the local mail folders of that domain.

Why does it happen like that? Shouldn't it first look at the mx record and deliver the mail to which server is defined in the dns records?

Thank you very much. I knew it had an easy solution but I didn't know how and I couldn't find how to search for it. Thanks again.

Can I ask what does it do in the background, like what configurations does it changes, does it exclude that domain from the localdomains list in the exim.conf?
