/etc/localdomains is always missing one domain name

    Every time something triggers a localdomains rebuild (/scripts/mailperm, or restarting exim, or updating mailscanner, etc) I have to add one domain back to localdomains.

    I did create this domain account incorrectly at first, then deleted the account and re-created it. Everything else regarding this domain is fine, it just doesn't show up in localdomains.

    I found this advice in many threads regarding localdamains, to run: /scripts/mailperm but I have to add my missing domain after I do that. So whatever is rebuilding the localdomains is not seeing this one domain.

    How can I fix this?

    Thanks.

    /scripts/mailperm is what rebuilds /etc/localdomains. It uses the DNS= lines from /var/cpanel/users/*, so you need to ensure that that users file is setup correctly. Also, make sure that if /etc/remotedomains exists that that domain isn't listed in it.

    Wow, thanks; the domain IS listed in remotedomains and remotedomains,v

    Since it is the ONLY domain listed, can I just delete btoh files and restart EXIM?

    Or should I remove the domain name and save the empty file?

    Okay, Since I am smarter than my own good, I renamed the remotedomains to remotedomains.bad and re-ran /scripts/mailperm

    Now that suspect domain shows up in localdomains! YEAH!!!!

    So is this all there is to it? Or should I be looking for other problems?

    Thanks, Chirpy.

    Jason.

    That's all there should be to it.

    Hi,

    How can I make sure that server has setup /var/cpanel/users/*
    For all users correctly. Is there a autofix for all, if there is anything
    wrong them.

    I am asking because, very often domains are deleted from /etc/localdomains
    by themselves ... not able to figure out.

    Thanks.

    The only check that I'm aware of is:

    /scripts/updateuserdomains

    ...and watch for errors.
