1.3.0 - External mail server loop

**nextone** · Aug 3rd 2016

Dear developers of I-MSCP,

at first of all, thanks for your great work with I-MSCP. It is an amazing solution and thanks Nuxwin for your engagement.

I updated my I-MSCP from 1.2.17 to 1.3.0 yesterday. Everything works fine, except of the external mail server rewrite. I have an email e.g. [email protected] with is a rediction e.g. [email protected]. The website with beta.com is hosted at the same server with I-MSCP. I have activated the external mail server function of beta.com (later in addition added the MX DNS records in I-MSCP without change of behaviors). If someone send an email to [email protected], the server should redirect it to external hosted [email protected], but I get a loop back.

I looked for the issue in your source code, but have not found the bug. Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks,
Jan

@nextone

Without the mail logs, we cannot really help you. Thus please do the following:

Code

# tail -fn0 /var/log/mail.log

then, send the mail (as previously done) and give us the output.
