Setup domain without Plesk Mail Server

[psni]

Issue: All our Plesk domains use external mail servers. Web Site owner programmers write php scripts that uses the MaiEnable SMTP engine to kick out the form results to the domain owner via e-mail. When MailEnable gets the e-mail it attempts to send it to itself since it thinks the domain is local. Disabling the domain in MailEnable has no effect. Deleting the domain within MailEnable fixes the issue. We would prefer to avoid the additional manual task and any other interaction with any Plesk tool that might recreated the MailEnable account.

How does one create a domain without setting up MailEnable or Plesk related mail server?

I am having the same issue.
I haven't tried this yet, but I found out you can set the following in the php.ini file:

[mail function]
SMTP = YOUR_PROVIDER
smtp_port = 25
username = USERNAME
password = YOUR_PASSWORD

The username and password would be for validation if needed, but I may need some domains not to use an external mail server, so that is not a solution for me.

MailEnable will always check to see fi the domain is local before checking it's MX record. If the mail should be going to another server you'll need to enable smarthost and run MERoute.
