I am looking for an API function to retrieve the current mail exchanger routing type (local/remote/auto). I can successfully set it using the set_always_accept API call, but I can't find a way to retrieve the current setting. I found the function

  The API is currently not returning mxcheck parameter, so it might be removed from that API I think. Another option is to retrieve it using below command: [QUOTE]grep -l "^DOMAIN$" /etc/{localdomains,remotedomains}
  Replace DOMAIN with your actual domain name. If this returns /etc/localdomains - then the domain is set to Local routing If this returns /etc/remotedomains - then the domain is set to Remote routing.

  I checked in the /etc directory but I don't have a localdomains or a remotedomains file or folder, even after I set the account to "local" or "remote" exchanger type.

  Ok, it looks like you're referring to the root's /etc folder, whereas I was looking at the account's /etc folder. Unfortunately, I need to determine the exchanger type from a script running under a user's account, so the script won't have access to the root's /etc folder.

  Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to determine this as a normal user at this stage. You would need root level access to the server to crawl up through those files I mentioned earlier.

  Thanks -- I've submitted a feature request for a local account to be able to retrieve their current mail exchanger type via the API:
