MX records are all pointing to the mail server
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHi there
I am having some problem with cpanel.
I have a domain, let's say it is domain xterminator.com, now I want to use that host to also run theyellowman.com. In Cpanel, I parked the domain on top of xterminator.com and it works fine for web traffic
For email however, *it is not working*!
I keep seeing this error in exim_rejectog
remote host address is the local host
Any ideas please

The little info I can find about this issue does suggest this. But all domains have got an mx record pointing them to mail and a A record for mail with the IP address.
I also tried having the mx point to a FQD that is diffrent from the domain
I have tried adding even the @ in the localdomains file, but now I get 'unroutable domain' instead of previous error
ok the domain we are having problems with is
theyellowman.com
The server that must process that email is
mailmaster.txtnation.com axa txtnation03.txtnation.com aka 70.85.156.162 aka 70.85.156.163
This mailmaster currently already handles mail for txtnation.com domain but is supposed to handle 81 domains' email normally.
It also appears that exim is adding records with internal ip addresses to the local resolver
Ok,
Here's what I've noticed:
mailmaster.txtnation.com and txtnation03.txtnation.com both resolve to 70.85.156.162
Your DNS record for theyelloman.com reports 2 configured IP's:
theyellowman.com. 1431 IN A 70.85.155.226
theyellowman.com. 1431 IN A 70.85.156.162
The MX record for theyellowman.com resolves to mail.theyellowman.com 70.85.155.226
I'm assuming your domain has been added to the local-host-names file in your mail server?
root@txtnation03 [~]# cat /etc/localdomains
@
txtnation.theplanet.host
mailmaster.txtnation.com
txtnation.com
admin.txtnation.com
inbound-london.com
mail.inbound-london.com
corporate-online.net
mail.corporate-online.net
my-charge.com
mail.my-charge.com
mail.theyellowman.com
theyellowman.com
There is no file local-host-names there

Check your MX record for your domain
