Hi

well i have a small problem but it is very annoying. I have the mail for my domain carrigonline.com is sent to everyone.net. But for some strange reason if email is sent using the php mail function on the carrigonline.com server to anyname@carrigonline.com it ends up in the default email box. also server uses cpanel.

any ideas ?

Can we have a look at the DNS/SOA record? Sounds like you need to adjust your MX records or alter a PHP function...

The NS records look to be okay, they are all pointing to everyone.net:

I'm guessing its a Script/CPanel setting. Unfortunately, I do not know much about CPanel, so I cannot help you with that.

Hmm,
I am betting that one of the alias files did not get removed, thus allowing the email to go to your domain at the server.

This should be a simple fix for the techs.

See, the zone file is not the only change you need to make, unlike everyone.net tries to tell you. You also need to remove 2 listings of the domain name on most Linux servers, in the aliases files.

For instance, on our servers, you need to comment out, or better yet, remove the domain name completely from the following 2 files:
/etc/localdomains
/etc/userdomains

This is something I don't recall ever seeing at the everyone.net site, or instructions. Just told from tech to tech.
