I'm having problems with a user account I've created. The website resides on my server but their emails are managed by another ISP in a different domain/ip address.

Whenever I send an email from the website as an autoresponse, it never gets to the recipent and looking at the logs the say its not authenticated and has been rejected.

I've tried setting the local server option under the users Email/MX Server in Direct Admin but still it doesn't seam to work.

I've also restarted exim, to make sure its picked up, but no joy.

I've also delete the /etc/virtual/domain file to make sure thats not interferring.
 
Hello,

yikes.. all you needed to do was uncheck the "Local Mailserver" option in the MX screen and setup the new MX server in your dns records.

You *need* the /etc/virtual/domains file.. you only have to remove the domain from inside it (exactly what unchecking the "Local Mailserver" does)

check your /var/log/exim/mainlog for clues.
