Google Mail mysite.com while Server mail for m1.mysite.com

You'll have to modify the MX records for the subdomain to use the the server you have for hosting, while the main domain MX records will use the google hosted ones. Something like the followig:

Code:

subdoman.domain.com. 14400 IN MX domain.com.

Where subdomain.domain.com is the subdoman name and domain.com is the main domain name.

 

Hello,

Subdomain records are contained in the zone file for the main domain. You weren't trying to create a subdomain record by itself that wasn't handled in the main domain's DNS zone file, right?

As for the subdomain, since it would be local rather than remote, you'd need to set the entry in /var/cpanel/users/username file for that specific subdomain manually and not edit the mail field in the DNS zone. Here's what the entry looks like in /var/cpanel/users/username (where username is the cPanel account username):

Code:

MXCHECK-sub.domain.com=0

For remote, it would have =remote and for local it would have =0. Please replace sub.domain.com with the subdomain's name.

After doing that, then do the following commands:

Code:

/scripts/updateuserdomains
mv /etc/localdomains /etc/localdomains.bak120903
/scripts/mailperm

I did the above on my test machine where I set these entries:

Code:

root@host [/var/cpanel/users]# grep -i mxcheck endar
MXCHECK-endar.org=remote
MXCHECK-happy.endar.org=0

Then I ran the commands I mentioned previously and now the domains show up in the correct files:

Code:

root@host [/var/cpanel/users]# grep endar.org /etc/localdomains /etc/remotedomains
/etc/localdomains:happy.endar.org
/etc/remotedomains:endar.org

Thanks!
