QMail do not delivery to remote mailboxes for my own domain
- by lorenzo-s
Sorry for the title, I don't know how to sum up this situation.
I have a web server at mydomain.com, running qmail for website related mail delivery (i.e. newsletter, sign up confirmation, etc). qmail here is used only to send mails, because I have a fully working Google App Gmail associated with mydomain.com for normal email receiving.
qmail runs fine when sending email to remote addresses, for example to address@example.com, but fails when sending to address@mydomain.com. I think it's because the server thinks that he have to manage mailboxes for mydomain.com locally, instead of redirect them to Gmail. Here is the /var/log/qmail/current for two email: the first one is sent without problems to example.com, second one fails because it's for mydomain.com:

As you can see, it says:
Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name
I can't say he's wrong :)
How to solve this? How to let Google App Gmail manage incoming email for mydomain.com for messages sent by mydomain.com qmail server?
