Hi

I have a doubt with exim, I am going to explain it better:

I have a server which receive all emails from one domain, its okay.
Now, I created other server with Postgrey to receive all emails (to avoid spam), so I changed record MX to this new server, then it ocurrs this:

1º Someone send me an email, example: [email protected]
2º My record MX -> redirect to Server-Filter-Postgrey
3º When Server-Filter-Postgrey check email and its okay (free spam and virus) , redirect again to original server (using tansport in Postfix)
4º Now, exim before deliver email own mailbox ([email protected]) do another query record MX, and RE-AGAIN sent to Server-Filter-Postgrey

How could I reject that original server do another query MX to deliver email to own mailbox?
Example, any rule like "if email is for @mydomain.com, keep in local and deliver it without query MX)

I tried to use manualroute on exim but not works, any ideas please?

I'm sorry if I didn't explain correctly.

Thanks
Best Regards

It sounds like there is a problem with the setup at the remote mail server. How are you redirecting emails from that server to your cPanel server?

Thank you.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply. In that server we have configured Postfix (Debian) and we with function transport sent that email (already scanned) to cPanel server, where this server (cPanel) should understand that thil is from own server and delivered it. Is it right?

Thansk.

Do you have the domain name in the /etc/localdomains or /etc/remotedomains file on your cPanel server?

Thank you.

You could try, but I am not sure that's the way to resolve the issue here. You may need to speed with a qualified system administrator who can review the settings on both mail servers and determine the best way to implement this custom solution.

Thank you.
