Send Server mail for a domain to an Alternate Server

[smithmartin97]

Hello,

I have a domain on my server and we are only hosting the physical site.
The mail however is on another server. The site works fine and the mail collects fine.

Issue is I have a form on the website that needs to send the data to
an email that is on that domain. I have tried changing the DNS:
mail.domain.com A IP ADDRESS

also

mail.domain.com MX (10) address of mail server

Every change I have made, I still get [email protected] stating:
This address no longer accepts mail.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

MS

Hello,

If you are using the external mail server for your domain then you will have to disable the mail service only for that domain on your hosting server. Also I will suggest you user SMTP mail function in your mail scripts instead of php mail.

Hello,

yes turning off the mail did the trick!

Thanks!
