i found the problem thanks. even though the MX records were pointing to a different server, since there is an inactive mail server (qmail) installed on the server for local mail delivery it would route it to the local server.
i disabled the mail server on localhost completely and now all mail gets routed to the correct host according to the mx records on the DNS :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raditha Dissanayake" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gerard L Petersen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Php-General" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 6:52 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] mail() to own domain not working > Gerard L Petersen wrote: > > >Hi all > > > >Im having a problem with sending mails using the mail function to my own > >domain. > >Mails to any other domain works perfectly.
