Hi guys, I'm using Amazon SES with my EXIM, but i want to disable Amazon SES to a specific email account (or a domain if it's easier), but to e-mail redirection. I'm configuring Zendesk like this: E-mail Forward: support@mycompany.com --> support@mycompany.zendesk.com. When I do that, Amazon SES can't recognize e-mails from "zendesk.com" and block it. So I tried to disable Amazon SES to "mycompainy.com" and I could do that when I try to use Webmail/Outlook to send e-mails If I authenticate with "support@mycompany.com" and try to send an e-mail, it don't use Amazon SES and send using my own server IP. But, I don't know why, when I try to send an e-mail to "support@mycompany.com", and EXIM tries to redirect to "support@mycompany.zendesk.com", this configuration don't work and EXIM tries again to send using Amazon SES. This is my original setup: PREROUTES # Amazon SES send_via_ses: driver = manualroute domains = ! +local_domains transport = ses_smtp route_list = * email-smtp.sa-east-1.amazonaws.com What I've tried to use is: senders = !support@mycompany.com OR remove from route_list "mycompany.com". All this works when I use support@mycompany.com with auth on webmail/outlook and the e-mail is sent without Amazon SES. But when I try to use cpanel redirection/forwarding, this conditions doesn't work. So, how can I change this PREROUTES to filter "forwareded" emails also?

  samuelmf - It's best to start a new thread for your issues as this one is 2 years old.

  We don't have a supported way to do this through the cPanel interface.  I would recommend checking out the details here for a conditional smarthost configuration to see if that will fit your needs:
