domain transfer screwed up email system

[abubin]

I have 2 server, old server running ensim and new server running cpanel.

I am migrating sites from ensim to cpanel.

I used the script provided by cpanel to migrate the sites. enXim option.

So, I migrated site ddd.com to cpanel. But there are a lot of stuff to fix with the migration such as user's emails and quota and database re-direction. So, ddd.com would still go to ensim while i make sure ddd.com at cpanel is working fine. I give ddd.com at cpanel an IP which means I can access that IP to verify ddd.com in cpanel.

But now, the problem is, when I try sending email from zzz.com which is located in cpanel, to ddd.com, cpanel server would send it to ddd.com locally instead of actually sending it to ensim server.

So I changed ddd.com in cpanel to ddd11.com to make cpanel forget that ddd.com ever existed in it and that mails from zzz.com will actually go to ddd.com. But cpanel do not want to forget about ddd.com. Still thinking ddd.com reside in cpanel. How do I do make cpanel forget that ddd.com ever existed in it like before?

I already tried restarting apache, bind and exim. Wouldn't help...

Please help!!

Thanks in advance.

Here is what i get when i try to send mails from zzz.com to ddd.com using squirrelmail at zzz.com :

Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
Server replied: 550 "The recipient cannot be verified. Please check all recipients of this
message to verify they are valid."

What about the MX entry....it is pointed to your ensim server or cpanel server??

What about the MX entry....it is pointed to your ensim server or cpanel server??

I am using webhost's DNS servers. Therefore, MX entry should have been the same. I checked MX entries in the cpanel and it's pointed to the old ensim server.

root@cpanel [~]# dig @cpanel.domain.net ensim.com MX

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> @cpanel.domain.net ensim.com MX

I have also tried deleting the whole account on cpanel. Once the account has been removed, emails are still not sent out correctly.

ddd.com still refuse to go out of the cpanel server...
