lowest numbered MX record points to local host

[capoinfra]

Hello.

I'm reading many post with this subject "lowest numbered MX record points to local host"

But my problem persists and I tried all possible ways related in this forum.


This domain (DOMAIN1) can send and receive mail without problem, but not redirect mail to another domain.

This domain (DOMAIN2) that should receive the redirected mails form DOMAIN1 can also send and receive mails without problems.

The problem is just with the redirection DOMAIN 1 to DOMAIN 2.

When mails are sent from any host to DOMAIN1 must be redirected to DOMAIN2

The logs are showing always a error in the redirection:

tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog | grep info@DOMAIN1.com
2009-06-10 22:05:03 1MEU2g-0003hE-Pv == info@DOMAIN2.com <info@DOMAIN1.com> R=lookuphost defer (-1): lowest numbered MX record points to local host
2009-06-10 22:05:03 1MEU2g-0003hE-Pv => info <info@DOMAIN1.com> R=virtual_user T=virtual_userdelivery

The DOMAIN1 is listed in /etc/localdomains and no listed in /etc/remotedomains

The MX entry in DOMAIN1 is set to 0 (i tried with 1, 10...)

I tried with /scripts/mailperm and /scripts/fixcommonproblems also I restarted named and exim

Any suggestions please?

Any help will be apreciated.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi;

The cause for the problem can either be because that the MX DNS record for the domain zone of destination recipient (local host) is wrong. Check whether the domain MX record in DNS name servers to verify that it’s pointing to the correct mail server. If MX record is correct, ensure that the destination domain is properly designated as the local-domain to allow Exim to know that they suppose to receive the mail without querying DNS again.
