What is the proper way to set up user using external mail servers?

http://forums.cpanel.net – Most of my domain emails are set up through Gmail's mail servers. On my old server (not a cpanel) I have to comment out the domain names in my local-hosts-names manually to ensure that mail is delivered properly. I've noticed on my cPanel servers that I can comment them out manually, but they keep getting overwritten. What is the proper way to do this? Is there a setting I'm missing when I add a new domain? How can I adjust the ones I've already added to the servers? Virtual cookie for an answer! Noob with boobs, Lena (HowTos)

I'm testing two mail servers that live on two (virtual) machines with made up domain names for emails.

Good day all,

one of my cpanel servers crashed. in the process of recovering i set up a domain located on the crashed server on my second cpanel server to cushion mail flow disruption with same number of email accounts but different passwords. But now my crashed server is back up and i would like to transfer mail on the temporary cpanel server to the original one. is this possible?

Hi folks, I noticed today that when a customer chooses the "Configure Email Client" option in cpanel, the resulting page "clientconf.html" displays incorrect information about the SSL server hostname.

We use a basic naming convention for our servers similiar to this...

server001.domain.com server002.domain.com

And we run a wildcard certificate for the cpanel service c

To support more domain names and non-system accounts we have recently reconfigured postfix to use virtual domains.

Hello,

After setting up some new servers, we decided to transfer a few of our own accounts to these new servers as a test. Both servers are running cPanel 11.32.2 (b25).

After the transfer was completed, I noticed that an email was sent to the email address associated with the cPanel account (end-user).

I have a reseller hosting account to serve my websites, but use Google Apps for email. I control the DNS on my domain name, so I have an A record pointing www traffic to my reseller account, but MX records so my emails are routed to Google.

My primary domain is mcbwebdesign.co.uk.

eMail Hosting Issue 41 weeks 8 hours ago

Hello 2 you all,

I have a client wich has a hosting account to another provider and want's to host all the email to our servers.

In this case if i understant very well:

1. It has to modify the DNS records as that

Current: domain.com. > IN > MX > domain.com. To: domain.com. > IN > MX > mail.domain.com.

and also

Current: mail > IN > CNAME > domain.com.

I have a customer who has recently begun using GFI Mail protection and archiving to take care of some legal requirements to archive e-mail.

We seem to have the incoming working fine. We changed the MX records to reflect the GFI mail servers. However, I need to force my cpanel server to send e-mails from their domain to the gfi outbound smtp server.

Null MX records 1 year 20 weeks ago

The IETF appears to have had a draft to specify a null mx record whereby a domain would not handle mail and mail delivery systems would fail and return a undeliverable system immediately by directing a domain's only MX record to '.' (c/f http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-delany-nullmx-00)

Is this draft specification followed by most mail servers out there and worth setting up?
