Still getting unroutable mail domains with phpsuexec installed

[jackie46]

Exim 4.52, S21

I thought that with phpsuexec installed and the option in whm checked "Prevent the user 'nobody' from sending out mail to remote addresses (php and cgi scripts generally run as nobody if you are not using phpsuexec and suexec respectively.)" that unroutable domain error issues were of the past. Not so, we are seeing lots of unroutble domain errors. Here is one.

A dig on our server reveals.

Whats up with this?

I've seen this with a client. Since you are using phpsuexec there's no need at all to have the option selected anyway, so you may as well unselect it and it should then work fine. If it doesn't, you'll need to log it with cPanel through your license provider.

[jackie46]

Right, but we were getting them before checking the option as well!

Try this:

rm -fv /etc/eximmailtrap

If that does delete a file then it should be OK.

It amazes me the sheer number of bugs which get introduced into the stable releases in cPanel! Its becoming a weekly/daily ocurrence.
