Smtp

Hi

I have a VPS I use to host websites for my domain.

I use Google Apps for email etc.. when the VPS sends mail to any address within my domain, it is not delivered. Ive turned off the DNS on the website that is my domain and told it to use my Name Servers but still no joy.

Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

You just need to switch off email for the Subscription (note that this disables email for all domains in the Subscription, so if you have more than one then you'll need to move the one you want to switch off to its own Subscription)

Mail tab > Change Settings > Untick "Activate mail service on domain"

The issue is that ALL email is treated as local for a domain, regardless of DNS settings, unless you remove the tick described above.
Essentially the system says "is mail enabled for this domain? If it is, try to deliver locally, otherwise check DNS to see where it should go"
