Force cPanel to always perform MX Lookup

    Hi @kenneth-vkd For all the domains that host their mail remotely, I would suggest doing one of the following (same result two different ways to get there) 1. Via CLI remove the domains with remote MX from /etc/localdomains and place them in /etc/remotedomains 2. From WHM>>DNS Functions>>Edit DNS Zone -> domain.tld at the very bottom "Email Routing for domain.tld set automatically detect configuration or remote mail exchanger to have them be remote. Thanks!

    Wouldn't doing this prevent the mail from being delivered back from the filtering service?

    Hi @brt It's technically the only way to force a lookup like he's requesting and it works for local MX Entries. You do have a point though, it could cause deliverability issues if set to remote. If that option doesn't work because of the way that local deliveries work (two clients on the same server) it may not be possible to force a lookup.
