Using External Mail Servers

[cmurphy@]

Here is the plesk zone for this domain

n-e-s.net.	NS	ns.n-e-s.net.	
n-e-s.net.	A	65.254.59.157	
mssql.n-e-s.net.	A	65.254.59.157	
webmail.n-e-s.net.	A	65.254.59.157	
ns.n-e-s.net.	A	65.254.59.157	
mail.n-e-s.net.	A	216.168.230.166	
ftp.n-e-s.net.	CNAME	n-e-s.net.	
[url]www.n-e-s.net.	CNAME	n-e-s.net.	[/url]
n-e-s.net.	MX (0)	inbound.n-e-s.net.netsolmail.net.	
n-e-s.net.	MX (5)	outbound.n-e-s.net.netsolmail.net.	
65.254.59.157 / 24	PTR	n-e-s.net.

The problem is this:

Local domains on this box are unable to send mail to this domain.

A bounce occurs with the following information:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at veglargh.hyperactivehosting.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<Smatula@n-e-s.net>:
This address no longer accepts mail.

--- Below this line is a copy of the message.

I am assuming this is due to the redirect for the MX records not working and our server trying to deliver a local email to a local box which of course does not exist.

What do you think is wrong?

If you are using a mail server external to Plesk, simply click the "disable" button within the mail area for the domain name.
