Hi,

Just wondering if you could help me out with this DNS / Email issue.

I have lots of domains on my DA server, however a few days ago I changed the mail server of "example.co.uk" to Google Apps to trial their services, all the other domains have the email server on the same server as DA.

Now, I changed all the MX records in BIND to Google's as requested b Google. If I sen an email from a Hotmail account or any email account not on my DA server, its gets delivered to the Google Apps server OK.

However if I send the an email from "example2.com" which is hosted on my DA server I get an error in Thunderbird saying:

"An error occured while sending mail. The mail server responded: "Unknown user". Please check the messeage recipient and try again."

I have restart BIND, Exim and still no luck.

Any help would be great.
 
Did you stop the local delivery of mail for that domain you have google set up for?

Enable DNS for that domain.
Log in as that domain.
Go to DNS.
Disable local delivery.

Domain2.com emails to domain.com (with google) should now go to google.
