hi,

If you have setup two domains in same server and if you configure one of the domains mx record point to external email handler such as sitemail or etc.

If you send a mail from one domain to other domain which is pointed to external email handler, would this mail handle by internally or would it send it to external mx handler?



Thanks

This is usually handled by the localdomains file located in /etc.

If a domain is listed in that file, the server will assume the domain is local. So if you set mx records to point externally, remove the domain from that file.

hi,

which file in /etc/

thanks

Hi!
I think this should help.
There is a file called /etc/nsswitch.conf. This file stores the sequence.
make it dns before files. Then the dns record is seen before the files ( /etc/hosts )

Have a great day :)
