Domain Email Forwarding Not Working

[domaineplus]

Hi!

Sorry if this has already been answered! I have searched a few sites and posts (like this one : http://forums.cpanel.net/f43/solutio...-69422-p3.html) and did not find a solution that worked for me... It seems as this problem happened on an old version of CPanel and was solved but we have the problem here...

When we are adding a domain email forward to a site, it does not forward the emails and responds with the error message below :

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<test@somedomain.com>
(reason: 550 5.1.1 User unknown: test@somedomain.com)

----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to somedomain.com.:
>>> RCPT To:<test@somedomain.com>
<<< 550 5.1.1 User unknown: test@somedomain.com
550 5.1.1 <test@somedomain.com>... User unknown

Final-Recipient: RFC822; test@somedomain.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.1.1
Remote-MTA: DNS; somedomain.com
Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 550 5.1.1 User unknown: test@somedomain.com
Last-Attempt-Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2011 14:41:28 -0400


Thanks for any help as there does not seem to be a working solution for us on the forums for the moment!

Thanks!

To clarify, the forward itself isn't working and it is failing with "User unknown: test@somedomain.com" ?

If so, please try the following in root SSH on your machine:

exim -bt test@somedomain.com

Please note that test@somedomain.com must exist and be a valid email recipient for the forwarder to work.

I hate when this happens! We had the problem for the last 2-3 weeks or so... After having removed the temporary email forwards and re-done the domain forward for the Xth time, now it works fine! If I ever get the answer as to why it happened, I'll let everyone here know!

Thank you Tristan for your reply!
