I have an interesting problem. All of my existing forwards work but when I create a new one I get a mailer daemon back that says unroutable address (Pasted below). If I create it as a pop account the email works. I've tested this on 5 of the domains on my server and just noticed this within the last couple of days. I haven't made any changes to the server other than the DA update to the latest version a few weeks ago.

I've already gone through the forum for this specific error and checked DNS settings and folder and file permissions. I've even reinstalled Exim using the script and also following the instruction to replace the .conf file and .pl file. Everything looks good so I don't know what to do next. I'll post whatever anyone needs.

Do you have working forwards for proitsolutions.us?

Check from your shell login to see what you get for:
Code: 
$ dig proitsolutions.us mx

dig proitsolutions.us mx

Here's what I get, thanks for the quick reply. I think it's wierd that regular pop addresses work fine just not forwarded boxes..

These all look fine.

Good, but bad because now we don't know why you're having the problem.

Are you using an original exim.conf file or have you made changes?

Can you post the top ten lines from your exim.conf file?

Config

Well it's the default one, I did a reinstall of Exim so it should be the one DA generated. Let me know if this helps. I appreciate you helping me out.

If you've installed this file and exim is running and not failing, then I can't see any reason why this is happening; you'll need to have someone look inside your server.
