Ok, I wasn't sure where I could post this - but I'm a Reseller, so I thought this would be the best spot.

Basically this is the scenario:
I have a client with a dedicated server of his own and I am just a reseller on another server. He asked me to park his domain on my servers.

Everything works fine except for mail inbetween myself and my client.

How his domain is parked on my reseller account and I just edited the DNS Zone to point all www requests to "ABC" and his mail to "XYZ", when I try and send mail - the mailserver (on my server) is obviously checking the local server since its parked there and doesn't find any users. This means I get an error that says its not a valid e-Mail.
Basically the same thing happens when he tries to send me mail because it tries to verify the user on the local (my) server when it comes to authenticating - and it can't find the user.

Is there no way to forward ALL requests to his DS ?

Is the only way to solve this to update the domains nameservers to point to his domain? (If so, he is running apache, can someone give me a step by step guide on how he would setup his domain on his DS)

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help out!

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help out! What mail server? You have to actually go in and remove the domain from the local mail config usually...

If I understand the set-up right, on your reseller account server you would remove the entry his domain from /etc/locadomains and add the domain to /etc/remotedomains.

That should get mail forwarding off your reseller account.
