multiple domains on 1 box

[dsan]

hey all,

run into a little annoyance and cant find anything in the knowledgebase.

I have 1 box with multiple domains.

Domain A:
setup correctly to server html, yet no mailbox configured as mail is handled by google and it does work 100%

Domain B:
setup to do web + mail. can send out and recieve mail correctly.

When Domain B tries to send a mail using the webmail interface on the box to Domain A, they get a bounced mail with the error:

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
'info@DomainA' on 09/10/2006 16:42
550 "Unknown User"

And the exim log is

2006-10-09 16:50:07 1GWxOI-000BkR-2y ** info@DomainA F=<tamah@DomainB>: Unrouteable address

It seems that its checking its local settings rather than correctly checking the dns server as specified upon install

What gives here? how can i get around this?

answering my own post

If you wish to use an external Mailserver, a few changes will need to be made.

1) Go to User Panel -> domain.com -> Email -> MX Records

There should be an option for "Local Mail Server". Uncheck that option.

2) You'll need to change the MX dns record to point to the external mailserver. Remove the "mail" MX record and add "other.domain.com." as the new MX record where that is the domain of the other server.
