Hi,
On my server, I have the domain mydomain.com
But the MX of this domain is elsewhere, on another server.
On a website on this server, I have a form which send a mail to contact@mydomain.com
But the mail never go out the server because it thinks than the mail is sent to itself.
On the mydomain.com config, I have disabled the mail, but it's not enought to fix the problem.
How can I do ?
You change mx ip in bind //
Line -> mail -> new ip
vi /etc/imscp/bind/working/domain.tld.db
vi /var/cache/bind/domain.tld.db
And restart bind
I'm not sure to understand everything.
In the 2 files, I have uncommented the following line and adapted the IP address of the real mail.domain.tld :
But I still have the error "mail for domain.tld loops back to myself"
Otherwise, if the IP of the real MX server change, I will have to change all the bind zone.
Is there a way to use a canonical address instead of address IP (like mail.otherdomain.tld) ?
Or best, just disable the loop back if there is not any mail active on this domain ?

Hello ;
Before any answer, I would to know what i-MSCP version you are using.
Thanks for using i-MSCP.
I'm using the Latest STABLE Version: 1.0.3.0
Re ;
External mail feature is not implemented in stable.. Read http://forum.i-mscp.net/Thread…eature-New-implementation carefully and you will surely understand how to solve your problem.
In order you have to:
1. Replace default MX entry set by imscp by your external MX (in your bind zone file)
2. Remove the domain entry from the postfix virtual_mailbox_domains map
3. Add the domain into to the Postfix relay_domains map (see the postfix doc about that)
restart all.
The main problem is that the change are volatile... I suggest to upgrade to master and use new external mail feature.
OK thank you Nuxwin !
The git master branch version is it stable enought to use it in production ?
If yes, is there a (safe) way to switch from stable 1.0.3.0 to git master branch version ?
