Client Question About DNS And Mail Forward
Mar 31, 2008
I have a situation with a client who wants to keep their current hosting provider for email, but switch their web hosting to a new host. I have recommended downtownhost to them, and explained that we could set up an mx entry to point to their old host for email forwarding.
They came back and suggested keeping their current ISP to manage the DNS entry to forward all http requests to DTH, so that mail does not need to pass through DTH.
I'm not a hosting whiz so I hope I explained this correctly. I was looking for some advice on:
a) does their solution make sense?
b) why would you want to do things this way?

My client is changing servers, and they need to get the mail from their old server to theie new one. Anyone know of a mass mail forwarding utility or something similar that could handle this?

I have several domains on my server.
ABC.com
DEF.com
XYZ.com
These 3 domains have email hosted my google and everything works as expected there.
However, when I try and send email from a php form to an address at XYZ.com, my server tries to send it locally, instead of sending it to google's MX address. If I try and send mail from this php form to either ABC.com or DEF.com, it works great and sends it to google's MX servers.
I ran a email trace from within cpanel and it returned this:
asdf@XYZ.com
virtual_aliases via /etc/valiases/XYZ.com

|
|
-------- XYZ@myserver.com
localuser to local delivery
asdf@ABC.com
lookuphost via ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com
The contents of my valiases files?
root@server [/etc]# cat /etc/valiases/XYZ.com
*: XYZ
root@server [/etc]# cat /etc/valiases/ABC.com
*: ABC
Here's some debug from the exim_mainlog file
2008-05-14 12:34:06 <= nobody@MYSERVER.com U=nobody P=local S=660
2008-05-14 12:34:08 => asdf@ABC.com R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp H=ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com [209.85.147.27]
2008-05-14 12:34:08 Completed
2008-05-14 12:45:53 <= nobody@MYSERVER.com U=nobody P=local S=2611
2008-05-14 12:45:54 => XYZ <asdf@XYZ.com> R=localuser T=local_delivery
2008-05-14 12:45:54 Completed
Any ideas?

I have active directory setup. Two users are in there that have exchange mailboxes. One has been deleted, but still gets mail on occasion. So, to keep things simple, bob@mydomain.com is a current user. tim@mydomain.com is the one that was deleted. Can I forward mail from tim's address to bob's address without a using a distrobution list?
I usually use contacts to forward mail, but that only appears to work for external addresses, and not for internal addresses (ie, mydomain.com)
Any ideas?
