Brandon,

I am confused. Why do you want to put a foreign domain (Recipient's domain) in the local list? You should ONLY do MX look ups for foreign domains. No SMTP server will do an MX lookup on local domains.

Consider the following example:

  • You compose an email where the sender is brandon@yourcompany.com and the recipient is aClient@gmail.com
  • You should ONLY add yourcompany.com as a local domain.
  • When an email comes in from your sendmail, Xeams will automatically do an MX lookup for gmail.com . There is no need for doing an MX lookup for yourcompany.com - that's the sender. MX lookup is only required for the recipient's domain
