mail server not letting email leave server

NodeWorx General Discussion

Hello,

I am having a problem since we decided to use google apps to handle our email instead of our interworx mail server system.

Heres the problem:

domain1.com and domain2.com on serverA

domain1.com now has MX records pointing to google’s mail server.

email from domain2.com to domain1.com no longer reach their destination.

However, remotedomain.com can send email to domain1.com just fine.

It appears even though we have removed all the email accounts of domain1.com on serverA. ServerA still catches any email for local accounts.

How can we avoid this? Other than moving the domain1.com to another server?

Thanks!

John

You have to remove domain1.com from the server’s mail system by running this command:

/var/vpopmail/bin/vdeldomain domain1.com

Note that this will delete any remaining mail configuration for the domain from the server entirely.

Thanks Paul.

I tried the command, but its still not working. Is there anything I need to restart?

No, that should be it. Try checking the /var/log/send/current log while sending from someone@domain2.com to someone@domain1.com.

Hello Paul,

I went to use /var/vpopmail/bin/vdeldomain on another interworx server and it doesnt exists.

 InterWorx-CP v3.0.3

Thanks

Really? That’s odd. If it’s a really old install it may be under /home/vpopmail instead, check there.

Yep had this server since the beginning.

/home/vpopmail/bin/vdeldomain

Thanks!
