Hello, I seem to be having a problem with domain forwarding in cPanel. I have 3 cPanel accounts: 1) foobar.com.np with a POP3 account and forwarders for info@foobar.com.np. Works fine. 2) foobar.com with domain forwarding to foobar.com.np. Works fine too when I send an email to info@foobar.com. 3) foo.com.np with domain forwarding to foobar.com.np. Doesn't work! When I send a message to info@foo.com.np I get the following message in my Exim log: As you can see, this domain forwarder is not functioning like the other one (foobar.com) since the domain forwarder for foobar.com DOES actually work: It looks like Exim doesn't know that emails sent to info@foo.com.np should be a local delivery. I checked the file "/etc/vdomainaliases/foo.com.np" and it says: So that should be correct... I can't seem to resolve this issue. Can anyone please advice? Thanks a lot.

Check if the domain foo.com.np is present in the file /etc/localdomains

It wasn't. cPanel bug? Anyway, I added the domain and it resolved the issue. Thanks for the help!

Not sure, will need to check logs to get a clue. Cpanel checks the localdomains for all local delivery. If it is not present there remote_smtp transport is used
