I have a client who I host a website through my Plesk 8.4 Linux server; I also host their nameserver record and therefore the MX entry. The client uses their own mail server in their office and I provide mail aliases on the primary domain that forward mail to their external domain.
So here's how the setup looks:
Domain A: Local to my server with aliases that point to Domain B
Domain B: Only the DNS is setup through Plesk. Hosting and email are disabled.
Here's the problem:
If someone external to my server sends an email to their domain it hits my box properly, resolves the MX record, and the email is properly directed to their mail server. However, if anyone local to my server sends email (such as myself) Qmail ignores the MX record entirely and attempts to deliver the email locally. The emails languish in the queue for 7 days then bounce back undeliverable.
Does anyone know of a way to force QMail to take the correct action in this situation?
