Email domain forwarding is not working

[ptselvan]

I have setup an email domain forwarding through cpanel, but it is not working.

Need to setup domain1.com to redirect to domain2.com, any email send to any address at domain1.com should be sent to the corresponding user at domain2.com (For example : user@domain1.com should be sent to user@domain2.com)


Any help will greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

I have the same issue.
Currently running WHM 10.1.0 cPanel 10.2.0-R52

Anyone have any suggestions as to what may be configured incorrectly?

[scapeweb]

Did the DNS propagate already on your server? Are you able to access domain 1 and domain2?

I have the same problem. I'm running the latest RELEASE version: 10.2.0-RELEASE_82

I have client.com as the main account and then I parked these two domains:
clientotherdomain.com
clientstillanotherdomain.com

The DNS is fine. The parking is fine. HTTP requests forward as expected.

But when I add the two parked domains as Domain Email Forwarding pointing to client.com, it doesn't work. I get the following error in my exim logs:

2005-05-18 15:24:43 H=(blah.blah.blah) [123.123.123.123] F=<me@mydomain.com> rejected RCPT <customer@clientotherdomain.com>: no such address here

One thing I've noticed: the DNS records for clientotherdomain.com show the MX line as: clientotherdomain.com. Shouldn't the Domain Email Forwarding functionality actually _change_ this to be: client.com ??

Any thoughts folks?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: I manually modified the DNS record so that the MX line for clientotherdomain.com points to client.com. The change has taken effect, but it's still not working... I.e. email to customer@clientotherdomain.com still gives the "no such address here" error, even though there is a valid account: customer@client.com. *sigh* Any thoughts anyone?

I'm having a similar problem, ever since I installed clamavconnector. The only difference is that email going to the forwarded domain is immediately going to :blackhole: as if it was taking the setting from the "Default Address" area.

At my server Email domain forwarding is working good.
Maybe problem in :
- Dns is not valid configured.
- You need to resetup forwarding
- You have Filter software like clamav or spamassasin.

just keeps getting better!!! NOT

same problem...

I re setup Email Domain Forwarding
I changed the MX & mail. to the domain mail should be forwarded to but it is still using the default address setting.

Then log a ticket with them, if you haven't already.

[linux-image]

chirpy, is it possible wrt danimal that clientotherdomain.com dosent have an entry at localdomains ?

[chirpy]

Possibly, but I've seen a lot of posts and complaints about email domain forwarding being broken in the newer exim releases that downgrading fixes. That's why someone with the problem needs to log it with cPanel.

[nzservers]

have sent a ticket

[nzservers]

not 1 word from cpanel concerning this ticket yet

This request has been assigned #106147

[nzservers]

cpanel have been in and tried a couple of things which hasn't worked.

are you others still having the same problem or is it fixed? if fixed, what was it?

looking through exim.conf I can't find any reference to /etc/vdomainaliases, should it not be there? presuming it's exim that sends the domain forwarded mail.

I don't know but I would assume something like these?

virtual_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_defer
allow_fail
data = ${if exists{/etc/valiases/$domain}{${lookup{*}lsearch{/etc/valiases/$domain}}}}
file_transport = address_file
group = mail
pipe_transport = virtual_address_pipe
domains = lsearch;/etc/localdomains
retry_use_local_part

userforward:
#!!# filter renamed allow_filter
driver = redirect
allow_filter
check_ancestor
check_local_user
domains = ! lsearch;/etc/userdomains
no_expn
file = $home/.forward
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
no_verify

[nzservers]

This is happening on another server as well and the commonality is installing cpanel's Pro, uninstalling doesn't fix it either.
Luckily this user isn't too concerned but it's of major concern to me, does anyone know of a workaround in the mean time?

[nzservers]

FIXED

this was missing from exim.conf


valias_domain_file:
driver = redirect
allow_defer
allow_fail
condition = ${lookup {$domain} lsearch {/etc/vdomainaliases/$domain}{yes}{no} }
require_files = /etc/vdomainaliases/$domain
data = $local_part@${lookup {$domain} lsearch {/etc/vdomainaliases/$domain} }
