I have email configured and working on one WHM server. The only thing I host on WHM at this time is the email. I used the WHM transfer tool to bring the email over to my new WHM server. Now I get "This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:"

Any idea why this is happening? The transfer said it came over correctly and the accounts are listing in cPanel.

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

Try reviewing /var/log/exim_mainlog or /var/log/exim_rejectlog to get a better idea of why the messages fail. You can search for a specific email address with a command such as:

Code:
exigrep [email protected] /var/log/exim_mainlog
Thank you.

Could you open a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can take a closer look? You can post the ticket number here so we can update this thread with the outcome.

Thank you.

To update, it looks like adding the hostname to the /etc/localdomains file addressed the issue.

Thank you.

What is the full error message?

In the Edit DNS options have you set the option:

- Local Mail Exchanger
