HUH? Emails go into the que for holding until they are downloaded from the server. Where are you going to deliver them to if no one is online to get them?

Hehe, I'm sorry, CPanel newbie and bad phrasing.

Anyway, it seems mails aren't beeing delivered to the users. When I try to do this manually I'm getting the following message:

Message 17Sq84-0005je-00 is no longer frozen
delivering message 17Sq84-0005je-00
LOG: 0 MAIN
== webmaster@nirvanafanpage.com D=virtual_aliases_nostar defer (-18): error in alias file /etc/valiases/nirvanafanpage.com: no local part in "@nirvanafanpage.com"
LOG: 0 MAIN
Frozen

I know this email account exhists as I set it up mysels to test the mailserver.

The bounce back email gives this:

unrouteable mail domain "core.section5.net"

Looks to me like something was set up wrong when they installed CPanel, so any help would be welcome. I'm thinking wrong setup of nameserver info...

I think you're confusing the SMTP mail queue with POP email boxes. The mail queue is where undeliverable messages are stored while the server waits to attempt redelivery.

Be sure that this domain name resolves to a valid IP address, and that it has an entry in /etc/localdomains. Running /scripts/mailperm should fix the latter.

I was confused by the question, guess it depends on what que we are talking about, I was thinking he did not want the use the server to hold mail at all so he was looking for a way to not use the mail folder in each user dir.

Now that he has explained it make sense;)
